Brandywine Valley SPCA employees teamed up with the Washington D C Police Department on Thursday January 16 to rescue a deer who fell into the Potomac River which was freezing. The rescue team which included the DC Fire and EMS Fireboat crew as well as the police department used a hovercraft to rescue the deer who was in the frozen river and move the deer into solid ground where the deer went back to the forest unharmed.

I am very glad the deer was rescued. Up in the Adirondacks they rescued a moose from a semi frozen lake. That must have been difficult.
