The baby deer broke the fence around the pool by slamming it several times (very determined little baby deer)! The deer then fell into the pond. Danielle saw the deer drowning so she took action to remove it from the pool. The deer was fine but was crying after Danielle pulled him out of the pool. The mother deer heard her baby and came out of the woods to look at him. The baby deer is doing well and left with his mom in the woods! Danielle has a few bruises on her hoofs, but she said she was just happy the deer is okay and is back safe and sound with her mom!

Great job Danielle! ??
