For anyone in our nation's military, being stationed in Iraq is one of the most dangerous jobs you could have. So when a group of airmen who were a part of the firefighting position were informed that they would have to go off base in order to save a baby camel, they were a bit worried that it could possibly be a trap.
It makes sense, too; terrorists, who know that Americans have a soft spot for animals, could easily use a baby camel as bait. But luckily, when the group of firefighters showed up, it didn't seem like there was a terrorist nearby. Even so, a whole group of fellow airmen set up a defensive perimeter so the firemen could work in relative peace.
At the bottom of a well there he was, a scared little baby camel. He had been walking with his mother when he suddenly fell into the deep hole. Scared and alone, he could only wait in the water for hours and hours.
Thankfully, the American airmen weren't going to give up on that baby for anything. After a few hours of hard work in the hot sun, they finally managed to pull the baby camel up from the well. Though he was a bit scratched up and trembling from shock, we just love how this amazing video ends! Mom was so happy to see her little baby.
We just love the very end, when the brave fireman jokes,"I figure it's like the Iraqi version of saving a cat out of a tree… Camel down the well!"
Please SHARE this incredible animal rescue if you think our nation's military has the best people in the whole world!
