As the cold season comes in, the temperatures dip and while humans can cozy in their homes, it is the animals that often need help. A video of a deer rescue from Wisconsin is going viral on social media. A doe got stuck in the middle of a frozen lake in Cranmoor area when an alert passerby decided to help. Identified as Gil Lencour, the man pushed the deer until the edge of the lake where the deer finally stood up and ran into the surroundings. It was a daring rescue as any slight imbalance could have ended up hurting the rescuer too. People on social media are hailing him as a hero. Earlier, a video of two baby deer rescued from swimming pool in Ohio went viral.

The incident took place earlier this week. Gil Lencour was driving past the frozen lake when he noticed a deer stranded in the middle of it. He decided to step in and help as there was no one around. Before that, he called up his friend to help. Lencour told a NBC report that he was trying to make the deer stand up but it couldn't as its feet would keep slipping on the icy surface. So he decided to push her to safety. Using his hand force, he pushed the deer until the edge of the lake and just near the shore, he bumped the deer. He even said Sorry to the animal who then stood up and took off. A video of this daring rescue is going viral online and he is being hailed as a hero. Herd of Deer Enjoying in Mesmerising Cherry Blossoms of Japan's Nara Park Looks Straight Out of Paradise (Watch Video).
