    Don't know this model of Toyota.
    I'd attribute such behavior to a Forester. . .

    Should have made sure it was dead. just like any caught animal when you think they are dead put another round in them before approaching
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    Kids, always apply the parking brake before attempting to upright a rolled vehicle.

    A former customer of mine owns a water well service company. Shortly after purchasing a very nice, shiny new red Kodiak well service rig, he and his crew went to a location with a slope like this one and someone forgot to apply the parking brake, with the result being the new truck finding its way into a ravine. There were no happy campers that day.

    The surprise not only rescue of a helpless animal, but ability to scoop deep enough with sufficient bucket left over to shield the belly from bucket teeth.

    A lot of karma points there, in just a few moments.

    The operator has got some chops. I'm glad the horse was able to stay still. They can be skittish.

    Seems like these videos are getting real popular. Almost wish I had something to rescue with my excavator.
