For all of us who love animals - A beautiful animal story shared by Caz (someone I know on another community)

A lady found the fawn under her step (they think the doe might have been hit by a car). The family's Ridge Back dog, Hogan, is helping look after it. The family named the fawn Bella. Once she has regained her strength (she was not in good shape when they found her) they're going to send her to some friends who (in the past) raised two orphan deer and released them to the wild. Right now Bella is being bottle fed. Hogan has basically taken over. The fawn even shares his bed.

Scroll down for great pictures and share this if you want to make people smile.

Is this someone you know, or an old story that went around the web? I only ask because the pictures look familiar. I think I may have gotten the story in e-mail once, but can't remember if it's this one. So cute and special.

1 1/2 years ago, a mother deer dropped off her newborn baby fawn (who looked exactly like this one - same age and size) in our court. She was gone all day. Wildcare said the Mom would come back and sure enough, she did at the end of the day. Mother Deers leave their babies all day,.....up to 14 hours at a time while they go out and forage for food.

Thanks for posting this adorable story.
