Shoutout to a pair of lifeguards near Daytona Beach who saved a white-tailed deer on Sunday!

It’s unknown how it found its way into the surf or how long it was there, but it did come close to drowning.

The lifeguards rushed in, loaded the deer onto a rescue board, and saved its life. For added “excitement” two SHARKS also happened to be circling! The deer was so tired, it didn’t struggle much.

Chase Hunter was the main lifeguard who told a reporter that saving lives is what they do, whether it’s a person, or an animal with hooves.

I love music. It’s really what got me into radio to begin with. You should see my record collection: from Michael Jackson and Elton John, to Led Zeppelin and The Stones, to old school hip-hop and dance music ... (Well you get the idea!)
