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.

Over time, Buckwheat grew up. It got to the point where he no longer needed Sarge's help, and was getting too big for the house. But while Buckwheat is off on his own now, Sarge has still had plenty of deer to take care of. Cheryl has continued to take in and rehabilitate injured and orphaned deer, and Sarge is always eager to help. While some of the deer do not make it, they give them all the love and care they can. "When I walk in the door carrying a fawn, Sarge springs into action," Cheryl told The Dodo. "He wants to check them over and he will frantically sniff and nose around to determine their condition."
