The Bedford Police Department described how two good souls lent Mother Nature a helping hand in a social media post on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, on Sunday, Officer John Moylan of the Emergency Service Unit, responded to a call about an animal in distress on Sarles Road.

Bedford PD noted the animal "wasted 'doe' time running away," (but perhaps they should be forgiven for the irresistible pun, because, you know, they saved a deer and all).
