     Tricia Hurt, her husband Brian, and their son Brady were out enjoying a fishing adventure on 

     Marsh-Miller Lake in Wisconsin when they found a baby bear in huge suffering. According to locals in the area, the little bear had been running on land with a plastic tub (桶) on his head for three to four days, but he somehow got into the water, worsening his condition. 

     The bear could be seen swimming in fear and shifting away from the family as they edged the boat closer. He was terrified, but the tub was quickly filled with water and be was in danger of drowning. 

    "Go a little faster, Brady. Get to the front of him, Tricia instructed her son to navigate the boat closer to the animal. Brian got close to the bear and tried to pull the tub out, but it had become too slippery. Brian lost his control, but he wasn't discouraged because the bear's ear bad managed to come loose. That meant the plastic tub wasn't impossibly stuck and he just had to get closer.

     The rescue lasted about five minutes and they made several attempts before the tub finally came off. Brady made the boat circle around the bear and his father gave one last try that set the animal free.Once it came off, the bear was able to swim easily to the shore and catch a much needed break.  

    The family was extremely relieved as Tricia called out to the sailing animal,"Swim happily."

    "We were so excited! We did our good deed for the day. We may never do this again, and it felt good to help the poor bear. You don't like to see animals struggle." Tricia later said in an interview.

    When the Hurts returned to their resort, everyone offered their gratitude. Trach, a local, said,"No one else had been able to help the bear for several days as it struggled with the deadly tub over its head. We need more people like the Huts!"
