Heartwarming moment Texas man leaps into lake to save drowning deer

A heartwarming video shows the moment a Texas man jumped into a lake to save a drowning deer.

The Montgomery County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office responded to a call about a deer needing to be rescued from Lake Conroe Sunday morning.

When they arrived to the scene, a resident had already jumped into the lake to save the helpless deer.

The man is seen holding the male deer along with a lifebuoy as he swims to the steps of a pier. Authorities are then seen trying to help the man get the deer up the steps.

‘Put her feet on the stairs and let her go if she has the energy left,’ one officer is heard telling the resident.

As the man tries to put the deer on the steps, he realizes that there were steps missing.
