A baby deer was rescued and reunited with its mother this month after it disappeared into a storm drain along a suburban street.
Homeowners near Baltimore, Maryland, said they spotted a distressed adult deer circling the storm drain, and called emergency services after they heard the cries of the fawn trapped below.
After prying open the grate atop the drain, one Owings Mills firefighter climbed down and emerged with the baby deer in his arms.
By then, it was dark, and a video shows the mother deer waiting nearby on the grass—retreating, at first, when the firefighter approached.
Eventually, the doe trots over towards the firefighter when it sees the baby in his arms.
