- A US family was boating on Marshmiller Lake in Chippewa County, Wisconsin, over the weekend and stumbled across a small bear that was struggling to swim with what appeared to be a ball jar stuck on its head.
- Trisha and Brian Hurt started following the small bear in their boat, trying to intercept its swim to shore, so they could remove the empty container from its head.
- A video that Tricia Hurt shared on Facebook, which has been viewed more than 595,000 times, shows the jar was filling with water as the bear swam.
- After two attempts, Brian was able to pull it off and the bear continued its journey to land.
- "We saved our little bear," Tricia Hurt called out, after the bear was freed. "Swim happy."
- "Good job, buddy," Brian Hurt said.
