It’s unusual to see a human standing so close to a timid animal. The story behind this image is touching: there’s a blind deer in our neighborhood, and this 10-year-old boy walks her from one grass patch to another each day before school, ensuring she finds food.”
Every morning, he helps the deer navigate to a safe place to eat and rest, guiding her gently along the way.
It’s likely the deer will eventually be tagged and relocated to a controlled forest preserve, but there’s also a chance she could find a home at an approved farm or petting zoo.
While it may not be the wilderness, given her condition, this is definitely a better outcome. Thanks to one incredibly selfless boy, this deer is being given a second chance at a fulfilling life. What an amazing story!
The news has reached a local rescue center that is now taking care of the deer, allowing her to live in safety. She is set to be picked up today by a local animal rescue group (not animal control) for a thorough vet assessment.
Sadly, in nature, this deer would struggle to survive. This compassionate child has offered her a new beginning, and it truly moves us.
