Doe, a deer...

We spent the afternoon yesterday at a petting zoo, where Wolfie met one of his best friends from school, a little girl of Chinese origins who adores him. I will probably blog about her one day, but this post is about something else. As we were driving home, in a nearby small town not far from our own, I saw a fawn. Maybe it was a doe, but I think it was a fawn, as it was quite small, so much so that at first I thought it might be a fox and a dog. It was walking at a brisk pace on the pavement by the road, looking scared, then stopped in an alleyway further down. It only lasted a few seconds. We parked nearby and we decided to call a wildlife hospital. They could not do anything, not unless it was injured and the fawn didn't seem to be, or unless we had visuals on it. We did not, so we drove back, trying to find it, to no avail. There was a good deal of woodlands and fields nearby, so we hope it managed to find a way back to the wild. We will also keep eyes on local social media, in case the deer has been spotted by others. I just hope the animal is okay.
