A nanny goat and her kid were rescued from a deadly cliff edge by hero firefighters.

Heartwarming footage shows a responder peering over a sheer drop at the stranded animal below.

The adult goat was stuck on a narrow, steep patch of grass, trapped between the rock face on one side and jagged boulders on the other.

Two firefighters carefully made their way down and reached the mother, as reported by Need To Know.

Dressed in hi-vis jackets and hard hats, they then navigated the seaside rocks to scoop up the tiny kid.

The rough waves of the Cantabrian Sea crashed against the shoreline just yards away.

One responder carried the kid to safety, while his colleague led the mother a short distance behind.

Both goats were finally safe on higher ground, reunited with other grazing goats.

The touching scenes unfolded in the coastal town of Ajo, in northern Spain’s Cantabria region.

Emergencias Cantabria said: “The crew reached the goats and found the mother, who may have given birth recently and was unable to help her kid climb up, so she stayed with it.

“The firefighters then brought both animals up to higher ground, where other goats were grazing.”

Viewer Carmen commented: “Oh, how lovely to see such kind hearts.
