Rescuers attached a rope to the agitated moose and slowly pulled him out. The moose appeared to be in good health when he walked away into the woods.

Officials say it's breeding season for moose, so it's not uncommon to see them wander into unfamiliar places.

Home owner George Trapotis tells WMUR-TV the moose came through his fence, dived into the pool and fell right through the pool cover.
