Most have seen a deer up close. They’re practically everywhere in the United States, known to frolic in yards and nibble garden plants. Some view them as a nuisance, while others see them for the gentle, curious creatures they are.
Deer have had a significant impact on culture. For example, the Disney film Bambi is a children’s classic, as tragic as it is endearing.
Although deer are generally cautious around humans, some seem to deeply enjoy them!
This is the story of a beautiful, budding friendship between a young boy and an adorable doe.
What’s cuter than one baby? Two babies, especially if one’s a deer.
On a beautiful sunny day, a child stands next to a watering can – well, more of a watering bucket. But he’s joined by an adorable, unexpected companion…
Hey, Deer!
Judging by her spritely demeanor, this doe definitely wants to play!
Unfortunately, Baby Boy’s been tasked with some gardening chores. He simply wants to take the green bucket and head off on his merry way.
He eyes the gardening tool, but the doe has other plans.
The child reaches for the container but he’s met with a wet surprise!
Aww, this deer’s a sweetie. She really likes him!
The child recoils in surprise, proceeding to massage his licked year.
Fortunately, he’s a great sport!
He doesn’t bat an eye, continuing to focus on the watering bucket.
Hey Deer, why don’t you be a dear and let me grab this bucket?
Baby Boy gathers himself, contemplating his next move. How can he get ahold of the bucket?
The child tries to reason with his curious companion.
Baby Boy devises a new strategy, slowly inching towards the green bucket. The doe waits eagerly.
He approaches carefully, extending his arm and vocalizing.
“Whoa.”
He just wants his bucket, but the deer wants to play!
Baby Boy extends his arms, eventually grasping the doe’s face with his teeny-tiny toddler hands.
The doe’s a great sport too. She doesn’t mind at all.
They’re already very comfortable with each other, as if they’ve been friends for years.
The toddler gently releases his soft grasp, again reaching for the watering bucket.
The adorable doe sends some more love.
Baby Boy struggles to grasp the bucket, quickly met by soft baby doe kisses at every attempt. She’s guarding the bucket with her affection!
This doe’s so adorable!
I mean, just look at this heartwarming exchange!
Baby Boy graciously accepts the love, but then attempts to pivot around his dear, deer friend.
At last, a chance to grab the bucket. These flowers aren’t going to water themselves!
The backyard’s sparse patches of grass hint at incredibly dry conditions. There’s simply no time to waste!
I’m not sure this baby doe even acknowledges the bucket at all, she just wants to play like any normal young deer!
Honestly, she might have a little crush on Baby Boy!
The toddler finally maneuvers passed his deer companion, ready to take off with the watering bucket.
Dear Deer, the midday sun’s only here for so long!
