A New Hampshire homeowner was surprised to see a special guest swimming in her pool on October 3.
According to the statement made by the Bedford Police Department, authorities were called to the house early this morning after a deer was seen in the residential pool. They arrived soon after, around 8:45 a.m. local time, to assess the situation.
Video taken by police shows the crew lifting the pool covering the water and finding a deer underneath. Once discovered, the horned animal made its way to the shallow end of the pool and, like a child being told play time was over, crawled out and began running towards the trees next to the house.

If you find yourself in one of these animals' ways at home, it's probably best to leave removal efforts to professionals.
