Authorities in Washington state said the attempt to pull the moose to safety was a calculated decision.
SPOKANE, Wash.Officers with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife rescued the animal in late December, sharing photos with FOX Television Stations. "While this rescue story has a happy ending, it is more the exception than the rule," the department posted on its Facebook page. "Wild animals, cold temperatures, and water is often a dangerous combination and we choose not to attempt a rescue as it is too risky to human life.
The department said its own officers had to work with the local fire department and the state patrol. "It was so hard. It was just prayerful, all the time."
