As if we didn’t already have enough reasons to love Mark Hoppus, we find out that he saved a deer from Redfish Lake in Idaho today.
Mark says: “Found a deer in the MIDDLE OF THE LAKE today. No idea how it got there. It was panicked, shivering, panting, tired, swimming in circles. I got on the swim step and we pulled up alongside it and I was able to get my arms around the bottom of its neck and tried to pull it up but it was too heavy. So for twenty minutes we slowly shepherded this deer across the lake, like herding goats in Twilight Princess, to the nearest shore. We got there and the deer stumbled out of the water, looked back at us for a few seconds, and bounded off into the woods. We saved a deer today!!”

Hoppus even thanked another Instagram user, who pointed out that the species was actually a pronghorn doe.
Safe to say that this was the kind of wholesome content we needed to see today.
