Dogs and deer

[ET Awful]

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

4. You're welcome :)

The manager of my apt. complex has a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy that will look just like that when she grows up. Same color and facial features, also about the friendliest dog I've ever met :).

7. Funny thing...Ridgebacks were bred to hunt deer

among other animals...

"The settlers needed a dog that could flush a few partridge, pull down a wounded stag, or guard the farm from marauding animals and prowlers at night."

8. Cute pics, why can't we live together with different species as easily?

Like people from Utah? Or from Florida and Texas and Delaware?
