A mother has shared her shock after her four-year-old son made friends with a baby deer, before bringing the cute creature home with him. Stephanie Brown was vacationing in Massanutten Resort, Virginia when her son Dominic turned up at their front door with the animal, who seemed completely comfortable in the boy’s company.
The photo shared on Facebook, which has since garnered more than 16,000 likes and nearly 20,000 shares, shows Dominic in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer pajamas, wearing Winter boots next to a baby deer on the porch where they are staying.
The stunned mother quickly pulls out her phone to capture the unique moment. “They were very aligned,” Stephanie said, explaining that the deer tilted its head in the same direction as Dominic as she took the picture.
The pair looked very comfortable with each other, and the baby deer didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get back into the woods as he peered up at Stephanie with curiosity.
“I was shocked. I was like, ‘No way. My mind is playing with me,” Stephanie told. “It’s not like something’s weird to him, to me it’s very strange.”
Stephanie Brown was shocked to find her son Dominic, 4, and a baby deer he found in a nearby forest appear on the terrace of their cottage during a family vacation at Massanutten Resort in Virginia, USA.
