Deer are some of the most majestic creatures we can encounter in a forest. They’re also some of the most flighty.
If you do get a chance to catch a glimpse of one before it sees you first, the moment you breathe it will be gone as fast as it appeared.
Every once in a while, though, these nimble woodland wanderers will surprise you.
The video below shows some of the most heartwarming footage between a deer and a dog ever seen.
It isn’t just cute. It’s curious.
Rather than dashing off into the camouflaged safety of the woods, this lone deer wants to engage in some play.
YouTube user Gruper1 likes to take his dog Yukon out for walks in their local wooded area.
That’s where they met an “orphaned fawn”
They began calling Daisy. Most would think the mere sight of a human and his big dog would frighten a deer away.
But Daisy was different.
Whenever she would see the pair she’d make herself present and even run with Yukon. According to Gruper1, it was almost as if Daisy seemed to think she was a canine herself.
There was one day in particular when Daisy really wanted to play with her buddy, Yukon. The dog was fishing for rocks in some water, which caused her to go bounding in after him.
Daisy zeros her eyes in on Yukon while he’s busy with his stone hunt.
This is where it gets extra-adorable.
She starts bouncing around in the water like she’s a pup. You know the “play with me!” “play with me!” type of behavior we often see with our four-legged friends.
While you’d believe a lot of dogs might drop whatever they were doing for some playtime – eh, Yukon wasn’t really feeling it at the moment.
Hilariously, he just continues looking for river rocks.
Daisy was determined.
She hops around the area trying to get the Golden Retriever’s attention, all with a fun track of music added to the background.
As the man points out in his YouTube video title, it kind of looks like the deer is “dancing.” Now that’s something you don’t see every day!
By no surprise, the scene won over the internet.
It’s been watched over 5.5 million times.
Gruper1 gave some details about their story in the video’s description. He wrote:
“This deer thinks she’s a dog and runs with my dog when we go for a walk. This time she was feeling a little frisky. My dog (Yukon) and (Daisy) an orphaned fawn, became friends briefly. Whenever I took Yukon for a walk, Daisy would suddenly appear. This particular day she was in playful mood but Yukon could care less. He just wanted to collect rocks for me.”
It’s not known where Daisy came from.
After all, most would agree her comfortable behavior isn’t very common for a wild deer. But there’s no denying it’s a pretty entertaining clip to watch, regardless.
One person wrote:
“She is a dancing queen…he cant see or hear the beat from her tambourine! lol love it ;-)”
Other viewers were tickled by Yukon and his mission to find stones (even during a major distraction).
“I love how the doggie is going rock collecting. Extremely sweet on all fronts <3”
See how “Daisy” does her best to get Yukon to play in the endearing video below!
