A Virginia sheriff’s sergeant came to the rescue of a deer he found stuck between the bars of a metal fence in Williamsburg.
The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office said on social media that Sgt. Sam Demarest arrived on the scene and worked to separate the bars of the fence to free the stuck deer.
“After a quick moment of gratitude (and maybe a little confusion), the deer looked right at Sgt. Demarest. He tried giving the deer a few helpful directions — but instead, the deer promptly turned around and went right back through the fence again,” the post said.
“Sgt. Demarest could only laugh and cheer the deer on. Sometimes, you just have to let nature do its thing.”
The deer didn’t get stuck on its second attempt at traversing the fence and returned to the wild.
