Raccoon Forms Sweetest Friendship With Deer Who Lost Her Mom (Pics & Video)

It’s always heartwarming to see friendships blossom between different animals. Sometimes friendships transcend species. That’s the lesson of one heartwarming video, showing the loving bond between a fawn and a raccoon, who formed a friendship after both losing their own families.

Despite reaching adulthood and being free to strike out on his own, Jasper has decided to continue calling Long's deer haven his home. These days, he happily shares the sprawling space with some 75 orphaned deer currently under Texas Fawn and Friends' care — but there's one in particular who has clearly won his heart. Her name is Hope. She, too, lost her mother as a youngster. But Jasper makes sure she never feels alone.
