Watch: Baby Rabbit Rescued From Snow By Dublin Airport Police

Even as snow storms shut most of Ireland on Friday, a baby hare had a lucky escape after it was pulled out from deep snow at Dublin Airport.

Dublin Airport police rushed to save the cute victim, whom they found hopping around, from the storm. They quickly scooped her up, took her to a warm area and provided her with food and water.

The airport officials posted a video on their official Facebook and Twitter pages March 3, which has since then gone viral.

The rescue, which was filmed on a mobile phone, garnered over 800,000 views and more than 30,000 likes at the time of publishing this story.

Dublin Airport posted a video of the rescue on their Facebook page as well, which was viewed over 100,000 times.

“We had a special rescue this morning by one of our Airport Police officers. This little baby hare was taken to safety and given food and much needed heat,” airport officials wrote. “We're happy to report that she's safe and well and is now being looked after by the family of our colleague who found her.”

The hare was named Emma, after Storm Emma, and her family was also found soon afterwards and taken out of the snow.

"The rescued baby hare is getting some TLC with our colleague who found it & his family. He's a she, they've called her Emma & will release her back into the wild when she's back to full health," Dublin Airport released an update about the condition of the hare on their Twitter page.

Despite their freezing experience in the weather, the animals were said to be recovering well, and will be released back into the wild when they gain full health and the weather becomes less severe.

Storm Emma led to a red alert weather warning for Ireland, with Dublin experiencing some of the highest snowfalls in the country. Due to the storm, at least 24,000 houses and businesses in Ireland were left without electricity. Transport was halted and flights canceled from Dublin Airport.
