A mother deer was struck by a car when a traveler came to the rescue.
Dairy farmer, hunter-fisherman Sean Steele of Alberta was taking a road trip across western Canada when he spotted the injured doe… AND her breeched fawn, hind hoof protruding. He performed a Cesarean section to save the baby who initially wasn’t breathing. He had a fix for that, too.
“I stuffed a piece of grass up its nose to get it to sneeze and clear its lungs out. And then wiped it down and it started breathing,” he told CTV Vancouver.
Sean was humble about the rescue. “I saw the uterus and the foot hanging out. I cut the fawn out.”
The baby is named ‘Friday’ for the day she was born.
