If there’s one sound that can give anyone goosebumps, it’s the loud cries of an animal in need. It’s not exactly something that you come across every single day, and it’s often the result of a poor animal who can’t get out of a dangerous predicament.

One man was actually woken up due to the noise a bawling deer was making, who found herself in a very strange position.

The deer was completely stuck in a fence and was panicking severely.

With nothing else left to do, the deer cried and cried hoping that someone would be able to rescue her.

It’s definitely an encounter you don’t have every day! Even though deer will usually leave humans alone if they’re not provoked, they can cause some issues every now and then.

You’ll mostly find these animals in and around some dense woods in the United States and the United Kingdom, and sometimes they’ll roam less-populated areas as well. In some cities, deer can even appear in your backyard from time to time and it’s just a common occurrence.

Of course, while these deer have peaceful intentions, their curiosity tends to get the better of them.

Backyards being ‘destroyed’, so to speak, by these majestic four-footers isn’t an exception. This time, it was a deer itself who seemed to be in the most trouble.

This deer got her nose into something, and you can take that quite literally. This animal in need of help must’ve roamed off a bit from the woods, tried to explore some backyards, and before she knew it, got stuck in a fence.

It was actually a white-tailed deer who found herself in this painful predicament, a species that is native to North-America.

The man who woke up to the cries couldn’t believe what he saw when he finally got closer.

The poor deer’s hoof was stuck at the top of the fence, and the animal just kept on crying.

Luckily, the good man tried to calm the deer down as much as possible, but he also knew that he needed to get the deer out as soon as possible.

The gravity kept on pulling her entire weight on the stuck hoof, causing a lot of pain.

It certainly wasn’t an easy task, but after a while, he was able to release the doe from her predicament.

He couldn’t figure out how the deer got stuck in the first place, but she probably just made a jump and miscalculated her landing.

In any case, one of her hooves was firmly stuck in one of the small gaps, but this deer was finally free again thanks to the rescue.

His first attempt to release the doe wasn’t really successful.

He tried to push the hoof to the top of the fence, so it would get loose that way. However, it was way too heavy for the man, so he needed a Plan B.

“It’s okay, girl. It’s okay,” the man shouted. “We’ll get you out, okay?”

He ran towards the other side of the fence, to see if it was easier to get her out that way.

Instead of trying to push the hoof out of the fence, he figured that simply breaking down the fence would be a much easier and less painful option. The deer never seemed to panic and wasn’t scared, it’s as if she knew the good man was just there to help.
