What’s not to love about German shepherds?
They are majestic, agile, and fantastic companions for adults and children alike.
In fact, German shepherds are among the dog breeds most praised for their intelligence.
There is little that these brainiac pups can’t learn, given the right training at an early age.
That is why they are so commonly given jobs such as herding, therapy, guiding the blind, searching and rescuing, and even becoming official police officers!
This article from the German Shepard Guide, titled “Work, Sports and Activities For The German Shepard” outlines almost all of the typical and unusual things this breed can do. Check it out and come back to this story to find out about one dog with a job that is surely not on the list.
There are some amazing things on that list that you would never guess. But one job definitely got left out!
You have probably never heard of a German Shepard that helps rehabilitate injured or orphaned animals.
This is Sarge, he lives in a regular home out in Ohio, surrounded by nature. The woods all around are home to all kinds of wildlife, especially deer. Sarge lives a pretty normal life from day to day, but every so often he gets called upon to step up for those in need.
His fellow humans are caretakers who introduce him to animals who have come upon hard times.
Most often these are fawns, or baby deer, who have found themselves in need of extra care. This is Sarge’s job and it clearly makes him proud!
He has made friends with many of the guests who have stayed in his home and keeps them company while they work up the strength to return to the wild.
As you can see in these pictures, he never hesitates to share his food, blankets, or even his favorite napping spots.
How adorable! These friends of different species are just the sweetest thing. It’s easy to tell that the young deer are safe and happy sharing a living space with Sarge.<
The fawn in the picture below looks particularly comfortable, all thanks to Sarge!
In nature, fawns usually stay with their mothers for a year or more before they are strong enough to fend for themselves, so when something happens to separate them from their parent’s watchful eye someone must step in.<
It’s a lucky thing that Sarge has such a big heart!
What an admirable and giving dog! Imagine a world where human beings are as willing to help and share with others in need.

This is Sarge. He helps save injured and orphaned wildlife in his area. I’m told he loves all animals, but gets the most attached to fawns. 14/10 good boy Sarge pic.twitter.com/Zlv65hDxxE
