A ewe and her lamb were saved from drowning after they got stuck in thick mud.
The pair were totally submerged and covered in black sludge in a dried-up pond.
Their rescue was captured on video and shows them being dragged out of the mire and carried to safety.
RSPCA inspector Anthony Joynes said they might have died if they had been stuck for any longer.
“They could have easily died if they were left much longer.”
“My back was really hurting too but it was well worth it, it is always nice to save animals.”
The lamb was suffering from exhaustion and was taken back to the farm, where she was washed down and left to rest in a stable.
