Who knew this summer's hottest Instagram accessory could be such a hazard?

While driving by Fish Lake in Minnesota, the Chisago County Sheriff's department encountered a tragic sight: a rainbow unicorn pool float stranded in the weeds as the group of women aboard tried to untangle themselves without capsizing.

With a "handful of laughs"and "some mad rescue roping skills,"the sheriff's department managed to pull the unicorn float to safety.

"#WheresTheGlitter," the department tweeted. Chisago locals got a kick out of the rescue mission.

Others couldn't get over how wholesome the video was.

"As cops we deal with heavy stuff on a constant basis," the department later tweeted. "So once in a while when something like this comes along it's good to step back, enjoy it, smile, and recharge to get back into the heavy stuff again."

And in case you were wondering where you can get your own unicorn float, one Twitter user found it on Amazon. If you take it out for a spin, just give your local police department a heads up, first.
