[SweetMike]

this is pretty interesting to see how aggresive a doe can be to protect its young. Poor dog

Ive seen that video, whoever owned that dog is at fault for it getting whooped by the deer. They should have had control of it and not let it run up there. I say good for the deer, just doing what it knows to do.

Oh, and yes, I am a dog person, I have 2 myself.

wow thats a crazy video! never saw that... agreed with the dog should not have been there but i mean c mon, things happen, the dog could have already been outside sitting there or something you never know... might ot have been the owners fault.

i have a question, if it was your dog would you do someting to help or just watch? im just curious...

That's weird.....Unless the dog was doing something off-screen, it looks like he was simply an "innocent bystander". The deer had to go quite a ways to get to the dog. The owner of the dog may or may not have had any warning about what was going on or what was going to happen. It does look like an urban location and probably not a place where people expect to find fawns and such. This is just another unfortunate result of wild animals moving into cities and other plases of dense human population. I just keep thinking that that could have been somebody's kid instead of a dog.

The thing I would do to help out would be to try and get ahold of my dog before it went anywhere near the deer. Now if that was happening to my dog, I wouldnt go near it until the deer left. That would be asking to get my ass kicked by a deer lol.

We have deer out in our back yard alot of the time. Most mornings I watch them eating apples right outside of the kitchen window while Im making coffee. I always make sure there are no deer around before I let the dogs out to do their business. Ill even open and close the back door a few times to scare them out of the yard.

HAHA I just had to chase 2 of them out just now so I could let the dogs out. They wouldnt leave so I had to actually walk out there and clap. They must have really been enjoying the apples.

Eh the dog probably had it's pride hurt more than anything else, maybe a cut or two from the hooves.  Can't blame mama deer for protecting baby.

Kitty better think twice before it smacks mama on the nose though.  I'm going to show this video to anybody who thinks deer are all sweet & nice!

Yeah, they really are a bunch of ill-tempered goats ..... especially toward each other. And of course I suppose we have all seen the video of the deer kicking the hell out of the hunter.

I will say that I have come across a whole lot of fawns and never had a deer come busting out of the brush and trying to come after me. I think the difference is that the deer that I encounter are totally wild and have a healthy fear of humans. Any of these "wild" animals that hang around people a bit too much really seem to lose that absolute fear of humans and often they start acting what we would consider to be ... weird. It's not a real good condition. We see it in coyotes, coons, bears, etc. and deer are no exceptions.

I think the video was posted on here 2 -3 months ago without much discussion .

It just goes to shot that we should keep our distance from deer . They can be dangerous and tear you up pretty bad . The bunny huggers need to see this video !
