She took the 3-month-old fawn and carried it to their van. Once they got the baby deer to shore Erica Kutzing took over. In the process of pulling the little fawn to shore Frank Florida’s knee blew out, but he kept working to save the fawn. It was a hard task because the fawn did not understand what was going on so he kicked and wriggled. The two managed to get a rope around the baby deer and started to pull him in. Frank Florida and Mark Freeley rolled up their pants and went in after the fawn. Storm tried to get to the baby deer but this time he wasn’t able too. This time the little fawn went out farther than where he was when Storm saved him the first time. When they arrived the poor terrified fawn bolted for the water of Port Jefferson Harbor, yet again. Frank and Erica came quickly to the scene.
The rescue sent two of their people to help, Frank Florida and Erica Kutzing. Mark Freeley called in some experts from a wildlife rescue that he was familiar with. After a few moments Storm began to nudge and pull on the baby deer. Storm followed the baby deer closely and lay down beside the deer to help warm it. Once ashore the baby deer took a few shaky steps and made his way to lay down a short way away from the water. Once Storm had a secure hold on the fawn’s neck he swam with it back to shore. Storm swam over the baby deer and grabbed it by the neck. Mark whipped out his phone to take a video once he realized what the brown object was, a baby deer! He seemed to have a clear mission and purpose.Īs Mark Freeley watched he finally saw what had gotten Storm’s attention. They were just walking along minding their own business when suddenly Storm started heading toward the water. The three went out for a walk on Long Island Sound. Storm is a 6-year-old, English Golden Retriever. Mark Freeley was out for a walk with his two dogs Sarah and Storm.
