The South Lake Tahoe Firefighters Association shared a heartwarming video of a mother bear helping one of her cubs swim to safety.

"With Mother's Day quickly approaching, we feel like sharing a story of a mother bear and her three cubs that have come out into the community today and ended up in the keys marina," the department wrote. "The mother bear was determined to save all three of her cubs herself and ensure that they see tomorrow by continually swimming each one to safety! Firefighters were called to the scene for a separated cub that the mother was able to coax into the water and swim it to safety."
