Video: Offbeat - Farmer rescues young lamb after near-death experience
Ed Dee, 47, was checking on his sheep at 4.30am on March 13 when he found one of them had fallen into its mum's water bucket.
He rushed the tiny day-and-a-half-old lamb, which was close to death, into the kitchen of his farm house and started to towel dry it.
The farmer then put it under a heat lamp but that wasn’t working so he turned to his wife Mo’s hairdryer.
