Recently, I came across a truly heartwarming video on Facebook that reminded me why I love animals so much.
Any time humans help animals in need, these wonderful creatures find unique ways to express their gratitude, either by wagging their tails, gently nodding, or even by bringing gifts.
The video I watched portrays one such story. It features a compassionate man rescuing a baby deer entangled in the wire fence of his garden for who knows how long.
In the video, the man carefully uses garden shears to cut the wire, taking care not to harm the poor deer who can be heard crying in despair.
The second the wire is cut and the deer is free, he breaks loose and bolts away. The man, not thinking much of it, goes home, likely happy he was able to help a delicate creature in need.
However, just a day later, he finds a surprise visitor at his front door…
Believe it or not, when the man opened his door that day to go about his usual business, he was surprised to see the same fawn waiting on his porch.
Springing into action, he quickly prepared some formula and gently bottle-fed his unexpected guest.
From that day on, a beautiful friendship blossomed between the man and the deer.
The fawn returned to his rescuer’s garden every day, strengthening their bond with each visit.
The man fed the fawn his favorite treats – some blueberries and apple slices – and made sure he regularly brushed his velvety fur.
Before long, the deer had also befriended the man’s dogs, who welcomed him as part of their family.
The deer loved his friend and would occasionally venture inside his home, exploring the great mystery of indoor life.
However, he never stayed indoors for long; after all, the wilderness was his natural habitat, and he had a family of his own to return to.
Sometimes, he would even bring his family to the man’s house to show his gratitude for being saved. Isn’t that incredible? A sign of trust like none other!
If you’re curious about the video I’ve been rambling about, now’s your chance to see it! Check it out and let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
Also, I wonder: Have you ever rescued an animal in need? If so, please feel free to share that story, too.
