When a Rainbow Unicorn Needed a Save: The Hilarious Minnesota Rescue
Picture This
Imagine rolling out into a weedy lake and spotting a flying rainbow unicorn—only, instead of a mythical beast, it’s an inflatable toy with five unsuspecting girls inside. That’s the scene that unfolded on Saturday, August 11 near Fish Lake, in Stark, Minnesota.
The Unexpected Crew
Two friendly Chisago County deputies were cruising the scenic drive when they noticed the floating unicorn stuck in thick marsh reeds. “We’d love a photo but maybe we’d get super close,” one deputy quipped, only to realize the boat’s passengers were trapped.
With quick thinking, one deputy hauled a rope toward the giggling crew, while the other captured every moment on video. The footage—now a favorite GIF on Twitter—has become the talk of the town.

Social Media’s Sympathetic Side
From “Sometimes even unicorns need help” to “I think they were really rescuing the unicorn,” the internet chimed in. The sheriff’s office even threw in a cheeky reply: “We are an equal opportunity help provider.” Had the sheriff sent a specialized unicorn team? “Yeah that unicorn needed a break,” they replied, keeping the tone light and breezy.
Why This Matters
In a world where flash mobs and meme culture rule the day, the quick, compassionate response from a couple of deputies reminds us that sometimes, a simple act of teamwork is all it takes to lift someone—and a rainbow unicorn—up out of a swampy predicament.
