A family rafting along an unknown river in the Pacific Northwest came upon a grizzly scene; a young and tired bear was stuck in the strong river current, barely hanging on.

According to the person who uploaded the video, the bear was stuck in a reverse current. The captain of the boat used the craft's engine to help propel the bear out of the current and toward the shore.

In the happy ending, the bear can be seen safely exiting the water at the end of the clip as the family cheers along.
