Darius decided to take the baby deer home.
“I do not support keeping wild animals as a pets, but this was special situation,” he writes.
Darius sheltered and cared for the fawn for some time. He assembled a little bed for her and fed her every four hours. She eventually fully recovered from her injury.
While skeptical at first, Darius’ other pets eventually accepted their new roommate. As a matter of fact, one of Darius’ dogs, Mack, took quite the liking to her and eventually took on a wonderful fatherly role with the little deer.
“He was a very good dad, always kept a close eye and didn’t let her wander off,” Darius writes.
With time, the fawn grew stronger and stronger. Despite the powerful bond between Mack and the fawn, it was time to find her real mom.
Darius began searching the wild for her mother.
Meanwhile the bond between Mack and the fawn grew even stronger. They were extremely attached.
“They loved each other, but we needed to find the real mom,” writes Darius.
Darius eventually located the fawn’s mother and the wild family was once again reunited. Their reunion is unfortunately not included in the video, but I can just imagine how touching it was.

I have so much respect for what Darius did for this adorable fawn, and think he deserves to have her wonderful tale shared all over the world.
