Loyal German Shepherd Steps Up To Be Protector of Orphaned Baby Deer

It’s amazing how loyal and protective dogs can be. They’re always ready to step up and help someone in need, from people to other dogs. It’s even more inspiring to see them protect another animal. We love seeing different species form unlikely bonds, like this dog who has became best friends with an injured deer.

Sarge is a 9-year-old German Shepherd who got a very unexpected new sibling when his owner Cheryl Stephen brought home an orphaned fawn she had found lying on the road. To Cheryl's surprise, the dog instantly stepped up to care for the poor deer, who she named Buckwheat.
