A little boy risks his life to save a baby deer

A photographer in Bangladesh has captured images of the rescue of a baby deer from drowning.

A young buck found himself trapped by a swollen river, and his chances of survival were slim. But Belal, a little boy, braved the river to save the animal and reunite him with his family as the pictures below show.

Hasibul Wahab, the photographer who shot the rescue, was very impressed by the heroism of the child but was also worried about his safety. "My friend was even ready to jump into the river to save the boy. But he managed to get out of there, and when he came back, we thanked the boy," he said.

A beautiful story that ends well for the animal and the boy!
