A Man Saved a Baby Deer’s Life and Now She Doesn’t Want to Leave Her Hero Human

Deers don’t always trust humans but when people save their lives, they know they can feel safe like when a teen saved a deer from a raging river. When a man named Darius Sasnauskas noticed a deer had trouble following her family, he knew he had to do something to save her as in her state.

Because Sasnauskas lives near Yellowstone National Park, he sees a lot of wildlife and knows that she would have been easy prey for predators. He documented this baby deer rescue and watching it will be the best 16 minutes of your day.

One of the baby fawns looked like she had a broken leg and she couldn’t keep up with her little brother and her mom.
