0:35A Minnesota state trooper is getting lots of love after a video showing her setting a trapped fawn free made the rounds online.
Trooper Mollie McClure was conducting traffic enforcement on Interstate 94 near Avon, Minn., on May 28 when she noticed a female deer pacing back and forth near a fence running parallel to the freeway. The trooper also heard the sound of a fawn in distress.
McClure stopped and discovered the little one was stuck in the fence.
Body camera footage the patrol posted online shows McClure approached the fawn with gloves on and said, "You're OK." She wiggled the fawn from the fence and within 25 seconds set it free. McClure lifted the fawn over the fence, reuniting it with the mother.
"I am glad you had your camera on," wrote Donna Berg on the patrol's Facebook page. "This is so heartwarming to see. That fawn would have died if you had not rescued it. You make us all proud, officer. Thank you."
The video has been viewed and shared hundreds of times.
