This is the heartwarming moment firefighters rescued a blind, old horse from a river in South Gloucestershire.
Emergency crews were called to a weir in the river Frome, running between Frampton Cotterell to Iron Acton, at around 9.50am today.
They used animal rescue equipment to save the 28-year-old horse - called Bruno - from the water.
An Avon Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: "Crews from Yate and Bedminster attended.
"They rescued one 28-year-old male horse from the water using animal equipment.
"The horse was assessed by a vet and left in the care of his owner."
Footage, shared on Twitter, shows Bruno being led out of the river while tied to a rope, which was being pulled by firefighters.
Bedminster Fire Station tweeted: "Water rescue virtuoso rescued a rather soggy Bruno from a small Weir in North #Bristol today.
"Despite being blind and old (28), Bruno was safely helped back to Terra Firma."
