A runaway reindeer in Formby turned a festive celebration into a real-life holiday adventure, as armed police, Royal Marines, and the Coastguard joined forces to track it down. Locals watched as emergency crews used thermal binoculars, quad bikes, and even a police drone to find the exhausted animal on the beach and gently guide it to safety. After hours of teamwork and a late-night vet visit, the reindeer was finally sedated and returned home—just in time to keep Christmas on track. Who else thinks this is the most ‘2023 Christmas’ story ever? #Pets #Formby #Christmas
