I looked for a story on this. Anyone know how the dog is?
Moral of the story...never threaten a baby in the wild. These people thought this was very cute, and the baby was. The cat seeming to love on the baby was kind of cute. But that deer was going on thousands of years of instincts that simply cannot be suppressed.
Deer are a lot tougher than people think. I have seen articles where deer have killed dogs and even people. Usually a buck who gores someone with his antlers, but a mama deer is not some frilly little animal who is harmless.
Those people were crazy to have that dog out there where they knew a baby fawn was. That is inviting an attack.
What were you watching, Hos? That cat was chewing on that fawn. You could hear the cat ask for some cous cous to go with it's venison.
I was out looking at some property out in the Hill Country one day. When I walked up to the lot this little family of deer began to run off. There was a baby deer, a mommy deer and a daddy deer, which surprised me because I thought all the daddy deers abandoned their families. He did in Bambi.
I walked over the neighboring fence line where this mutt was barking at me. The dog had been barking as soon as I got out of my car, so I was going to see if I could calm him down. As I approached the dog I hear a chirping coming from the deer whom I thought had already evacuated the area. It was the mommy deer. She was really making a racket, which was directed at the male. Then the daddy deer started to take a few steps in my direction. He stopped and stared at me. He then looked back at the mommy deer and she began chirping away again. He then looked back towards me and took a few more steps in my direction. It was as if the mommy deer was yelling at him to do something to protect his family.
I swear the daddy deer then rolled its eyes at me as if it were pleading for me to help him look good in front of his old lady. I looked over at the dog who had stopped barking to watch the deer. The dog gave me one of those tilts of the heads that dogs do when they are perplexed. I threw my hands up in the air and yelled out "Okay, you win. Just don't hurt me. You are my superior." and headed for my car. Daddy dear lets out a snort and then turns to run off with mommy and baby following close behind.
