It’s been a devastating month for flood-ravaged Baton Rouge, La. but moments like this when even the tiniest animal victim gets rescued offer a glimmer of hope.

Scott Black was finally leaving work after rising floodwaters had kept him in the pharmacist office for nearly 14 hours. As he was leaving, Black captured a baby deer wrapped up in towels that was rescued from the floods.

“It was amazing to see this tiny fawn just lying in someone’s lap,” Black told The Dodo.

He snapped away and captured some wonderful photos of the fawn, who seemed both exhausted and also “amazingly content,” Black said.

There have been plenty of moments like this one where residents rise to the occasion helping their displaced neighbours and animals too.

Among them was Louisiana police, who recently saved a fawn as floods pushed wildlife into town, PEOPLE reports.

“I had family, friends and employees that had been flooded so the mood was somber at best,” Black told Dodo about the latest rescue. “But seeing that fawn lying there was such a sign of peace and hope.”

As for the baby deer, Black said the fawn was taken to a local farm where “it was being bottle feed” and “doing well so far.”
