The McWhirter family was enjoying a nice evening on their dock when they spotted a distressed fawn treading water off the coast of Blomquist Beach on Camano Island, Washington, on July 1.

They hopped in their boat and quickly headed for the fawn, which was beginning to struggle. Eventually the McWhirter family was able to grab the fawn out of the water and released it back onto land. Credit: Jim McWhirter via Storyful
