The Moment A 4-Year-Old Boy Bring Home A Baby Deer He Befriends In The Woods

A little boy astounded his mother when he came home with a baby deer after playing in the woods. In what can only be described as a cuteness overload, a four-year-old boy befriended a baby deer and brought it home from the woods. The adorable photo of Dominic, 4, and his little deer friend has brought smiles to millions around the world after his mum Stephanie Brown snapped a photo of the pair.

Stephanie explained that the family were packing to leave the Massanutten resort and head back home to Ragged Point Beach in Virginia when Dominic showed up with his new buddy. The post shared on Facebook, which has since garnered more than 35,000 likes and almost 45,000 shares, shows Dominic in his Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer pyjamas, wearing Winter boots next to the baby deer on the porch of the holiday rental. The unlikely pair looked perfectly at ease with one another, and it didn't seem that the fawn was in a hurry to head back to the woods as he peered curiously at Stephanie.
