Officers say it was unable to get itself out of the pool, so they put in a set of wooden steps.

The department posted a video of the moose looking back and forth as the team held a rope and coaxed him out. After being rescue, it scampered away.

The post attracted different comments from netizens. “Great job! Thanks for helping him. He must have been so scared,” wrote a Facebook user. “Wow ! Glad the family has video for insurance if the moose hurt the pool. What claims agent would believe that?” jokingly wrote another. “Looking for love in all the wrong places,” commented a third.

Col. Kevin Jordan suggests it had to do with it being moose breeding season. He tells television station WMUR that “the younger moose will wander long distances struggling to find a female.”
