The baby deer broke the fence around the pool by slamming into it several times (very determined little baby deer)! The deer then fell into the pool. Danielle saw the deer drowning so she jumped into action to remove it from the pool. The deer was okay but crying after Danielle removed it from the pool. The mommy deer heard her baby and came out from the woods to watch. The baby deer is fine and went off with her mommy back into the woods! Danielle has a few hoof bruises but she said she is just happy the deer is okay and back safely with it’s mom!

Great job Danielle! 🦌
