A quick-thinking English farmer saved a lamb that had fallen into a freezing-water trough with the help of his wife’s blow dryer.

Ed Dee of West Lodge Farm Park in Desborough, England, found the day-and-a-half-old lamb “sodden and very close to death,” after the animal climbed into his mother’s freezing water trough, according to a March 13 Facebook post.

He dried the lamb off with a blow dryer, and after fifteen minutes, put the freezing animal in the plate-warmer section of his oven with the door open, the Daily Mirror reported. 

A few hours later, the lamb was back on his feet and ready to be reunited with his mother, according to Facebook.
