A 6-year-old girl was able to save a group of ducklings after they fell down a drain pipe.

Mia's arms were just the right size to reach down and pull the ducklings to safety. The determined girl was able to save eight out of the nine ducklings that were trapped in the pipe. Unfortunately, the ninth duckling did not survive, Mia's mom said.

Footage of Mia rescuing the ducks was published to YouTube on April 9.

"I am incredibly proud of my daughter's actions to help the smallest beings," Mia's mom wrote on YouTube. "Additionally, I am grateful for the family that asked for our help, they tried their best to help the babies, but it required just the right arm size and right attitude to get it done."
