A Texas girl was trying to do a good thing and save a squirrel that fell in their backyard pool.

Her Dad told Viral Hog that his daughter is an “animal lover,” she “had to attempt a rescue.”

She almost succeeds in her rescue mission but then things go awry. The squirrel was not quite as grateful as she had hoped and she ends up yelling “let me save you!”

Fortunately, she came away from the incident with only a scratch on her arm and, “after a cautious second attempt, she did indeed rescue the squirrel,” according to her proud dad.
