Adorable Baby Deer Refuses To Leave The Human Who Saved Her Life

A 17 minute video of the apparent rescue and rehabilitation of a tiny, abandoned fawn has captured hearts and eyeballs in the four weeks since a Yellowstone National Park-area man posted it. The video, posted by Darius Sasnauskas, shows a white-tailed doe and her two young offspring walking through the Sasnauskas’ scenic and green backyard in spring.

After several evenings, Sasnauskas states in the video, the mother deer appeared and took the baby back in — at a time when, he said, he did not have his camera. "The doe and two her fawns is still around, we seen them through the summer and the autumn," he states in the video description. The video concludes with footage of the mother and two growing young deer bounding around — a few months later, according to the caption. The video has been viewed millions of times. "I didn't expect this story to become so popular," Sasnauskas writes in the video caption. "I am sure that any of us with a little bit of a conscience about our existence, with love for the nature and animals would do the same."
