Oh Deer! Fawn Rescued From Fence Ends Up In Bathtub

EVERGREEN, Colo. (AP/WWJ) — A fawn trying to make a clean getaway after it got caught in some fencing instead wound up in the bathtub of a Colorado home.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, which posted a photo of the wayward fawn in a tub online Wednesday, says a man freed the animal from some fencing outside his home in Evergreen Tuesday night.

Instead of returning to nature, it ran through an open door in his house and into the bathroom. He told deputies that he put it in the tub before calling for help.

"Only in the Mountains," reads the Facebook post. "The homeowners thought it was injured and call us, but when Deputies S. Steele and B. Corbin arrived, they discovered Bambi was uninjured, just a little lost without her mother."

The sheriff's office said the deputies put the fawn in a blanket, carried it outside and set it free away from the fences. Its mom couldn't be seen but deputies hope they were able to reunite.

"They kindly got her out of the tub and back outside safely where she scampered off. We hope she finds her four-legged family again soon!"
