Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus Finds, Saves Deer In The Middle Of A Lake [WATCH]

You never know what you’re going to find in a lake. Maybe a tire, maybe a dead body or if you’re Mark Hoppus…a baby deer.

The Blink-182 bassist/singer was out on a lake in Idaho according to SPIN, when he came across the small animal. He posted a video of the encounter on Instagram with the following caption:

“No idea how it got there. It was panicked, shivering, panting, tired, swimming in circles. I got on the swim step and we pulled up alongside it and I was able to get my arms around the bottom of its neck and tried to pull it up but it was too heavy.”

Found a deer in the MIDDLE OF THE LAKE today. No idea how it got there. It was panicked, shivering, panting, tired, swimming in circles. I got on the swim step and we pulled up alongside it and I was able to get my arms around the bottom of its neck and tried to pull it up but it was too heavy. So for twenty minutes we slowly shepherded this deer across the lake, like herding goats in Twilight Princess, to the nearest shore. We got there and the deer stumbled out of the water, looked back at us for a few seconds, and bounded off into the woods. We saved a deer today!!

Apparently they followed alongside it towards the land. It eventually made it out of the water and ran away.
