Sweet video shows man rescue baby deer and return it to mom

Baby animals are just adorable no matter what animal it is unless they're the frogs hatching off of the back of a mama frog, I will never be able to unsee that. Aside from those frog back babies, there's something about baby animals that make you want to let out a long "awww" while you thing about all the ways you wish you could snuggle them.

This also may be the reason that people will risk their own lives to save baby animals they see In the wild struggling. Some sort of protection instinct kicks in and you just have to go save the little baby. With the convenience of having tiny cameras in our pockets at all times, we're catching more of these rescues on film.

One woman filmed her husband saving a baby deer, a fawn for you fancy people. The little deer was following its mom and somehow found itself trapped behind a chainlink fence unable to reach the safety of its mother. That's when the woman's husband comes in.


The man stopped the car and jumped the fence to rescue the deer that was running frantically back and forth trying to escape the chainlink barrier. His wife can be heard off camera sweet talking the deer who is too far away to hear as she films her husband and checks back on the mama deer who looks at the situation from the edge of the woods. Eventually the man makes it over the fence and another driver stops to help. They both chase the fawn until the woman's husband finally grabs it and carries the struggling baby back towards its mom.

As soon as they reach safety, the deer is placed in the grass where it takes off running and the two deer disappear into the tree line. The sweet rescue can be seen below.

It seems like most people are feeling wiped out these days. There's a reason for that.

We're about to wrap up year three of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it's been a weird ride, to say the least. These years have been hard, frustrating, confusing and tragic, and yet we keep on keeping on.

Except the keeping on part isn't quite as simple as it sounds. Despite the fact that COVID-19 is still wreaking havoc, we've sort of collectively decided to move on, come what may. This year has been an experiment in normalcy, but one without a testable hypothesis or clear design. And it's taken a toll. So many people are feeling tired, exhausted, worn thin ("like butter scraped over too much bread," as Bilbo Baggins put it) these days.

But why?

Can a dog really trust you?

Dogs can smell fear, but can they sniff out the truth? Your dog might actually be smarter than you're giving it credit for. It turns out, dogs are pretty good at picking up on human behavior. Science says so. A team led by Akiko Takaoka of Kyoto University in Japan conducted a study which found out that dogs actually know if you're to be believed or not.

The study involved tricking dogs in the name of science. Humans have known for a long time that if you point at an object, a dog will run to it. Researchers utilized this information in their study. During the experiment, they pointed at a container that was filled with hidden food. Sure enough, the dog ran towards the container. Then, they pointed at a container that was empty. The dogs ran towards it, but found that it had no food.

One single mom went viral for encouraging parents to let boys help with the holiday cooking

Last year, single mom Emily Taylor made some sound Thanksgiving advice that is still great food for thought.

As Taylor shared with Today.com, she had been talking with another parent, one who had two adult sons, when they argued that “boys can't stay in the kitchen all day like girls can when helping with Thanksgiving stuff.”

Taylor was, as she put it, “flabbergasted,” and continued to ponder that comment until she was compelled to share her own thoughts on the subject.

A husband took these photos of his wife and captured love and loss beautifully.

I feel as if I were right there with them as I looked through the photos.

Snuggles.

When I saw these incredible photos Angelo Merendino took of his wife, Jennifer, as she battled breast cancer, I felt that I shouldn't be seeing this snapshot of their intimate, private lives.

The photos humanize the face of cancer and capture the difficulty, fear, and pain that they experienced during the difficult time.
