TV Helicopter Pilot Saves Stranded Deer on Frozen Lake
 
Thursday , January 18, 2007
 
NORMAN, Okla. — The pilot of a television news helicopter used the wind from the aircraft's rotor to push a stranded deer to safety after it lost its footing on an icy lake and could not get up.
 
A small crowd of people had gathered to watch the deer struggling without success to regain its footing near the shore of icy Lake Thunderbird about 4 p.m. Wednesday.
 
KWTV pilot Mason Dunn used the wind from the rotor to push the deer, initially sending it into a break in the ice where the animal managed to hold onto the ice with its front legs.
 
Dunn then lowered the helicopter and the wind sent the deer sliding on its belly across the ice until it reached shore, struggled to regain its footing and then scampered into a nearby wooded area.
 
The event was captured on news video the station aired

Pretty amazing to watch.  The poor thing had to be terrified of the 'copter, but at least it didn't freeze to death on the ice.

Pocket, I couldn't find the article that was posted after that.  It said that the deer was treading water for 6 HOURS and that a crowd had gathered at the shoreline and there was nothing they could do to help it.  I would have been mortified just watching.  I almost cried watching it trying to walk but apparently it gained it's strength and ran off.  Such a heartwarming story.

That's the first time I didn't mind watching an animal get blown away.
