Script.

These snow mobilers spotted a head sticking out of the snow belonging to a beautiful reindeer, that had fallen into a hole and was completely stuck.

They started digging around him with a shovel, and did everything to make him reunite with his deer friend that was patiently waiting.

Once the hole was wider, it was time to grab his antlers, and make an attempt to drag him up.

He (one of the men) used his strength to free the poor thing from the sticky swamp. But he was way heavier than expected… so both of them grabbed an antler each, working together to give the reindeer freedom again.

At last their amazing effort paid off.

With slightly wobbling legs he went looking for his friend who refused to leave him behind.

They were happily reunited, and could run free side by side again.

Thanks to these kind-hearted men for not giving up on this beautiful soul.
