A man rescued a tiny chipmunk from drowning in a bucket of water.<br /><br />The footage, captured in northern Montana, shows the man catching the chipmunk after removing the water from the bucket.<br /><br />The man then places the little one on the ground - which can be seen struggling to move.<br /><br />The animal can’t stop shivering so the man wraps it in his t-shirt and takes the animal home to nurse.<br /><br />The filmer writes: ‘’It is hard to say how long he had been stuck in that situation it was obvious that he would not have lasted much longer in that cold water. <br /><br />‘’After I got him in the house and dried off he continued shivering for a good 30 minutes as I held him in my arms to try to worm him up. <br /><br />‘’I didn’t really know what else to do, so I just keep holding him. <br /><br />‘’Finally, he stopped shivering and seemed to be asleep after about 40 minutes so, I made up a little bed for him in a cereal bowl with a cotton washcloth and tried to lay him down in it. <br /><br />‘’But that’s when he finally woke up. Then I guess he decided to play it safe and jumped off my kitchen counter and ran out of the house. <br /><br />‘’It would have been so cool to domesticate him but I am happy he’s outside doing his thing again. But man, he was so cute! <br /><br />‘’Maybe we’ll bump into each other again someday and he’ll remember me. I know I won’t forget him.’’<br /><br />The clip was filmed in October 2017.
