Cherokee County deputy jumps into hole to save baby deer that had been stuck for days

CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. — A Cherokee County deputy went above and beyond the call of duty Thursday morning, helping to rescue a baby deer.

The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office said the fawn had fallen into a hole at a construction site in the Carmichael Farms subdivision.

Investigators believe the deer had been in there for a couple of days before anyone called for help.

As soon as Bass put the fawn on the ground, it ran off into a nearby wood line.

As the Facebook post said, it’s “never a dull moment.”
