“This is what we do in the morning… sometimes at lunch… and dinner!” the woman explained. But how did this routine even start?

12. Discovery
The woman soon discovered the deer all alone with no one to care for it. She knew she couldn’t leave a baby deer to fend for itself, so that is when she started to feed the baby. It was the best thing she could do at the time.
11. Strong Bond
The woman and the deer soon formed an incredibly strong bond. It was a true Disney movie moment with the woman coming to the deer’s rescue. It’s almost too good to be true!
10. Suitable Environment
Does the woman ever worry about the deer being in harm’s way? It seems this little deer is lucky enough to be in the woods behind the woman’s backyard as they are off limits to hunters.

4. Negative Backlash
Still, not everyone’s comment was filled with positivity over the situation. Some people criticized the woman for getting involved in nature. They scolded her for making the deer dependent on her.

2. Defending
“After reading some of the comments, I feel compelled to add my own. While it is true that her feeding this fawn will indeed make it somewhat dependent on her, the chance of that harming the deer would be slight,” one user wrote.
1. Great Woman
