The two used a large strap to pull the buck out, and it ran away, apparently uninjured.
A homeowner and police officer joined forces in North Saanich on Friday to rescue a deer that was unable to free itself from a backyard swimming pool.
The Sidney/North Saanich RCMP officer and homeowner used a large strap to pull the buck out, police said. Once the deer was free, it ran off with no apparent injuries.
“Thankfully, the deer was safely removed from the pool and was able to continue on its way,” said Const. Benje Bartley.
