Duluth Man's Deer Rescue Goes Viral

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A video of a Duluth man rescuing a deer is going viral.

He said he was driving over a bridge on Interstate 35 on Monday when he spotted the deer crawling on the ice.

Peterson said he felt like he had to do something, so he crawled onto the ice, tied a rope around the deer and pulled it to safety.

Peterson named the deer "Miss Ice River."
