She researched and educated herself on how to interact for the highest good with this beautiful creature, and look at how much it impacted her and other animals’ lives! Respect.
He is some education for you. If you find an abandoned fawn, then leave it alone. The mother will come back. She's just out foraging to build up her milk supplies. It is _extremely_ common for them to do this, and it is pretty common for humans to stumble upon an "abandoned" fawn. LEAVE IT ALONE! The mother deer is almost certainly NOT dead. I live in the mountains, and our local paper has to print warnings every year telling people to not do what this lady and her husband did.
@@daithi1966 Thnx David, I knew all about this, as I learned that as well from the first time a fawn was left in our bushes.. the same family came back every year.. never got close to them, but did leave them alone except to throw out some fruit & veggies at times. Our cats sure enjoyed their company.. that being said a fawn is taught lay still and quiet, this one did not, plus the vet said it most likely was left with no mother.. so he was searching/crying because he was hungry..besides, if Thor's family came by, wouldn't you think that that WAS the case..? He wasn't abandoned, but perhaps she did die.. this sweet lady did the right thing in this situation
OMG!! The dedication!!! fed the baby deer every 3 hours for 5 months? slept in a tent to protect him? Man, if every human were like this, we'd be so much better off. Well done good humans!!!

J’ai agis comme cela avec mon chat que j’avais trouvé, sans famille. Il était très difficile, au lieu de le forcer, je me suis mis à son niveau, comprendre sa vie, ce n’est pas évident car il faut beaucoup de patience. Avec le temps on est devenu de vrai amis, je prenais soin de lui et lui de moi.
My father raised three wild baby animals (a squirrel, a possum and, a crow), while I was growing up. Then he raised a baby raccoon, later on. I absolutely love that, about him.
It's as impossible as domesticating a wild cat. I have a street cat for 11 years now and it's possible with some effort. Problem with deer is same as dog - You can't own them in singles. It's pairs or nothing.@@mja91352
WOW! You have a wild deer acting like a loving dog. Freaking amazing and so wonderful. I find people's ability to connect with nature and wild animals not only beautiful, but also amazingly fun to watch.
Its wonderful..I have coyotes, deer, skunks, raccoons that all eat inches from eachother. I've been doing it forever. And if you show no fear and respect them they will trust you. Its amazing. I love this video.. just wonderful how he changed both their lives..cheers..
I wish I lived in the country, I am working on getting there, I made friends with a squirrel, he’ll sit on my back porch and look threw my back door window and wait for me to bring him a treat, he gets excited when my vehicle pulls in, I def would put out salt licks and feed for animals if I lived in the country
I like the fact that you kept him wild yet took care of him when he needed it. It's very neat to know that people can become friends with a wild animal.
She fed him every 3hrs from May through September….. Imagine that! Sheesh, the COMMITMENT! That’s pure love and dedication. She gave him a chance at life. ❤🦌❤
Animals, no different than children, know who they can trust. Not to say that being trustworthy means that said person is not capable of being angry or exhibiting behaviors that someone will exercise when warranted. I think this is where alot of individuals that think a certain way get "confused". As good/bad isn't a category that people are meant to be placed in. Possessing and having certain needed essentials is what can be sensed by certain animals and people overall.
@@chefvandana God gave us dominion over the earth as care takers. To be used wisely. Not to be hunted for sport. Only take what you need to survive, no more. That is what God instructed and entrusted us to do.

Except the mother deer was heart broken when she came back and found her baby fawn had been taken. I live in the mountains as well, and the local paper has to print a warning every year to remind people NOT to take any abandoned fawns. The mother is almost certainly not dead, but is just foraging to build up her milk supplies and will return. This happens ALL the time. She and her husband should have left that fawn alone.
David Ivey, The way she told how the fawn ran up to her husband and stood on his foot doesn't sound like what you described, and that a vet agreed the fawn had been abandoned might make this situation different. While I agree wholeheartedly that the issues you mentioned are very real, I also know hunters that constantly break the laws and hunt out of season, so which is this, hard to say.
@@daithi1966 You don't know for sure that the mother was out forging somewhere and that she would have returned. I don't know much about deers and fawns, but the vets who work and live out there, know everything about it.

I love how she didn’t try to make him into a human! She respected his species and showed him the very best example of what the human species is capable of and instead of making Thor adapt to her world she loved him enough to educate herself about his and thus giving him the proper care that he needed allowing him to still remain free while also providing him with a loving home that would always welcome him. The evolution of his progress is incredible! Like she said…. She was definitely allowed to be included in their herd because Thor trusted her😍😍😍what a beautiful story ❤️❤️❤️ this woman is an amazing person!!!!

This is so special... I am all teary eyed now over their amazing bond and the trust with Thor's family in the wild. So beautiful ❤️ Great people doing great things!
Except it is NOT so special. It is _extremely_ common for mothers to leave their fawns alone while they go out and forage. I've lived in the mountains for the last decade, and they have to print reminders in the local paper telling people to leave the fawns alone. The mother will eventually come back, and you are doing FAR more harm than good if you take that fawn. LEAVE THEM ALONE! Their mother will come back.
@@daithi1966 but they didn't find the fawn, he came to them; and the wildlife vet suggested the mother must be dead for a baby that young to be out exploring on his own since he should be tucked away where mom left him. Yes, people need to leave found fawns alone, but that wasn't the case here so no need to internet police people's enjoyment.
YOU are a very lucky lady to have Thor and his friends and family to trust you unconditionally. Not many can say that. What a wonderful story....so heart warming!
I can't remember the last time I smiled throughout every second of a 5 minute video. To be that devoted and attentive to Thor throughout his life is admirable. You have been rewarded for your kindness. It's on your face whenever you're with him. Just a beautiful story. Thor has the best of both worlds because you respected his natural instincts.
Poor mama.. Thor was so desperate out there all alone. What a beautiful bond you two have. You are a very special lady, you gained his trust and let him be wild as he is meant to be. Thor acts like a happy puppy when you call him, how cute! Thank you for taking good care of him, I wish you all the best.
I'm a Marine Corps Force Recon Vet & 100% Disabled after 2 deployments in Iraq and 3 in Afghanistan. The bond she has is absolutely beautiful just so special. It's to bad that there's not more people like this in the world. I've seen the absolute worst that Mankind can do to one another. But with little acts of simple kindness such as this maybe humanity still has a chance.
It's so heartwarming to hear Thor talking to you. How beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. I think this dynamic is exactly how we domesticated dogs and cats.
You are a wonderful person for rescuing him. Now you are part of the herd, that is awesome. You raised him to be free, however he trusted you and came back to help him heal. I believe the herd trust you as well. The newest Deer whisperer. Thank you for rescuing him. May Thor also his herd live happy and long lives. 🦌❤️
This is one of the sweetest relationships I've ever seen! It's truly beautiful and absolutely amazing! It had me in tears knowing and seeing how special this is! Thor loves his mama 🦌 and his mama loves him unconditionally... you guys were meant for each other! Thank you for sharing, I will save this and watch it often 🥰 God bless!
God bless this woman for saving this deer's life and then raising him to be wild and not a pet. Other than cats and dogs, no animal should ever be someone else's pet. By giving him freedom, he chooses whether to return or not, and he always chooses to come back and see his mama and spend some quality time with her. ♥️
@@luisespinoza1916 , With all due respect, I disagree. There's not many people that are blessed with this sort of gift from God. I have the same gift and it still amazes me how animals response to me. God receives all the glory for it. I'm just a vessel. However PRAISE THE LORD 🙌💕
@@dubyredburndarling6334 I respect you opinion too....my point is ,,"rare,' means l,'m in the position to classified it .for me nothing is rare...because nobody has the position to discriminate....maybe unique (,, And many people has interesting habilities) and skills like that....thanks for the feedback anyway
Can't you just accept something without this gift from God shit. Is your god sitting somewhere saying "you get something but you don't ". Just grow up.
I just looked up the definition of the word rare. I think this qualifies. Here it is: rare [rer] ADJECTIVE (of an event, situation, or condition) not occurring very often: There are nearly 8 billion people in the world. I don’t know how you are in a position of authority as to the occurrences of a human rearing of a wild fawn but I have to believe if you think it’s unique it is most likely rare. What good comes from parsing words here? Are you an English major looking for a job? Maybe you should open a poem repair shop where people can make use of your giant intellect. 🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely adorable that he can roam freely now with his herd and still come back and interact with the one that raised him and what's more show the herd she is to be trusted.
You're so blessed to have been able to step in as Thor's mother. No doubt he wouldn't have survived without you. I'm thrilled to know that you are such a good mother to him. I shall pray for his life journey to be one of good adventures and that he stays safe all the days of his life. 🙏🏻🦌
Stories like this are so cool to me because they make you realize that the animals with whom we share the planet are no different than we are. They are us and we are them. Just because we don’t communicate on the same level 95% of the time or share the same concerns doesn’t mean that we’re all that different. If more of us would choose to engage and to learn, as opposed to viewing them only or primarily as a source of food or entertainment, relationships like this one would be so much more common.
This is so moving I can’t even begin to express just how listening to her talking about the deers consciousness has shifted my on perspective !! Thank you for this beautiful video. You are incredible. I can see that this was a huge gift that landed in your garden. Thank you for showing it to all of us. X ❤
@@philiptownsend4026 my husband was gored by a goat accidentally on his face, but I'm sure deer are a bit more graceful than goats. The goat felt very bad, you could tell. They were both being clumsy and not paying close attention haha.
@@MermaidMakes I hope your husband recovered and that the goat was forgiven. I'm a city person now living in the country but have encountered goats first hand a couple of times, they seemed friendly and playful but a bit exuberant, like dogs. One time a goat jumped into my car and wanted to settle down in the passenger footwell, it wasn't easy getting the goat out, I think she wanted to adopt us. The goat wasn't homeless, it had human owners. So as you say, it most probably was an accident. I am aware that our cats have good sets of sharp weapons from birth and always respect them, particularly those from feral backgrounds, not quite tame.
@@philiptownsend4026 thank you! my husband is also what I would call a "city person" but with the heart of a country boy, as he took to this life out here in the country where I was raised pretty well, and goats quickly became one of his favorite animals. I love goats, and I've always said they are like the dogs of the barnyard animals. Also very clumsy and silly like dogs can be. It happened because he went to sit down on a bench to play with them and one of them jumped up on the bench at the same time and hit my husband square in the chin with his horns on the way up, luckily avoiding any vital structures. He just had a bloody chin the rest of the day. The goats are always forgiven 😆. It was a young yearling goat, so they both learned an important lesson of mutual respect that day!! I think cats are creatures that demand respect whereas with dogs and goats it is easy to forget their sharp parts because of how personable they are until an accident like this happens.
You’re a really good person for helping him adjust to life in the wild. And yet it shows that they still feel the bond of the “mother” that raised them! Very special…I hope he lives a happy life and you as well! Keep up the good work…and thanks for sharing! Gary Brent Mason
What a once in a lifetime, life changing experience! I love that she made sure to educate herself on the best way to take care of Thor. Such a beautiful story
Thank you so much for this story. I love it. This really touches my heart. Not only did you rescue him, got him medical attention, raised and love him, but you let him be a deer and live his life with other deer. I love that he comes back to you for a visit. 🥰❤🦌
Oh there's plenty of people like us! Everybody here would do everything they could for that little guy. The world isn't that bad anymore; and it keeps getting better slowly.
What a lucky, lucky lady !. I bet that even after all this time, her heart still pounds every time she shouts 'THOR !' and he comes bouncing along !. Plus, the rest of the herd trusting her also is a mega added bonus !
Imagine how happy she is when he stops by like once a month with his whole fam. Imagine when he introduces his kiddos to her eventually. Lol such good feels, can only imagine how in love she'll be
How ever so sweet!!! This lady has dedicated herself to understanding and looking after this baby deer. In her care, look what a gorgeous big boy he has become. She has informed herself, learning all about his species to give him the best care ever. By giving him love, she received love back and became him mum, his friend and his mentor. What a huge privilege she has rightfully earned! They have bonded for life and one day, he will bring his baby to meet his grandma. What a delightful moment that will be for her. May God bless her and this beautiful deer who she has raised. 🦌
Ingemewis As a human, the woman cannot “mentor” a deer, or any other animal species. This animal had to acquire that kind of knowledge from it’s own kind, or follow it’s natural instincts. It is one thing to learn about an animal and how best to care for it, but that is not “mentoring,” which is totally different from caring for and developing a relationship with it.
To ‘K’ I would suggest you read an article by Maribeth Decker called, FROM ANIMAL MASTER TO ANIMAL MENTOR. You see, it is all a matter of how one perceives the role of the human. Luckily for the animals, humans choose to ‘mentor’ them and no longer look down on them as our slaves! Only primitive man would still be stuck in that thinking. Animals today are our companions or our children. They actually soothe our souls. Humans have chosen to be their ‘mums’ or ‘dads’ and openly call themselves that. I do not have a problem with that. I do not subscribe to the ‘master’ attitude. I have animals, I am their mum, their partner, their playmate AND their mentor. Maribeth Decker writes, to this effect, the animals guide us so we can mentor them properly by showing us their likes, their dislikes, their vulnerabilities and so on. For humans, the ‘role’ has evolved to where we look after our animals’ welfare and in addition to loving them, we mentor them. So, to address your ‘objection to using the wrong word’, I would advise you that YES!!! animals have human ‘mentors’. We are no longer their ‘masters’ and thank God for that! This, in no way, takes away from the animals’ birth parents. In the absence of humans, ‘they’ do the teaching of how to fight, to hunt, survival and looking after. It’s always advisable to do one’s research first as one would learn a great deal!
@@ingemewis2043 You have offered nothing more than unqualified, non authoritative, subjective, personal opinion, and it certainly does not emanate from the very highest and supreme source of knowledge, wisdom, and authority that has charged man with dominion over all creatures of the earth. I don’t subscribe to your theory of mentoring animals, nor your abdication of authority and dominion over them. I know that some who have, ended up as animal feed. I have no need nor use for being lectured by the like of you and those who worship at the altar of wildlife. Animals are here, to some extent, as beasts of burden and for the things they can provide for the benefit of man. You and your fellow travelers are not going to upend this natural status of man’s relationship to the other creatures, not even close to any significant degree. You have not altered my understanding of what place animals occupy in this world, and the thought that you or any humans can “mentor” an animal is as nonsensical as the thought that they can become disciples, or even apostles!
@@ingemewis2043 If your reasoning were relentlessly pursued to it’s logical end, animals would qualify for internships in medicine, government, and business; they would be eligible for appointment to the cabinet as department heads-Secretary of the Treasury, Defense, State,etc; National Security Advisor, Chief Economic Advisor; Supreme Court-even as Chief Justice! In fact, one may be nominated for the Presidency! Thankfully, the lunacy will end long before that, though considering the current President, it might not.
The little beeping sounds he makes are insanely cute!! Thank you for rescuing this gorgeous animal and posting. Your kindness has magical benefits and inspiration for all that watch. Warm wishes love and light.
This was an absolute joy to watch! Thor's baby bleat made me smile! This woman is awesome! I love her being accepted into Thor's deer family! How wonderful is that to be surrounded by a herd of deer, sitting around you in a trust circle? She's earned their trust. Thank you so much for sharing!❤
We need more stories like yours these days. Acts of kindness and compassion. Thank you for being you and showing the rest of us what true compassion and selflessness looks like.
What a true gift! Nature is perfect. Whatever happened it was all meant to be! Thor lost his mom and that is tragic. However, he found you or you found him and that is amazing! Lovely story. 💕x
My goodness, this is such a beautiful story of rescue followed by an ongoing relationship with a human, even as this animal lives and interacts with other deer in the wild. It's simply extraordinary! And I feel it must be rare to have all the components align in such a way to make this possible.
What an amazing experience to have. Many people probably Envy you because this is a relationship that is not common. God bless you your family and the deer family.
That is awesome. He's still has a lot of the wild in him and knows he can trust you. This is special, thanks for sharing. Wish more people would treat any animal right.
Another example that animals are not trophies. This beautiful and wise deer is showing us that it’s ok to trust, and if things don’t go like we expect ,to be resilient. Enjoy every moment of your life, your freedom; be present and show gratitude to those who looked over you. Such humble and wise animal ❤ respect to her human mama

Except it is NOT so special. It is _extremely_ common for mothers to leave their fawns alone while they go out and forage. I've lived in the mountains for the last decade, and they have to print reminders in the local paper telling people to leave the fawns alone. The mother will eventually come back, and you are doing FAR more harm than good if you take that fawn. LEAVE THEM ALONE! Their mother will come back.
@@daithi1966 but they didn't find the fawn, he came to them; and the wildlife vet suggested the mother must be dead for a baby that young to be out exploring on his own since he should be tucked away where mom left him. Yes, people need to leave found fawns alone, but that wasn't the case here so no need to internet police people's enjoyment.
@@daithi1966 you didn’t listen closely to this story from the lady?
YOU are a very lucky lady to have Thor and his friends and family to trust you unconditionally. Not many can say that. What a wonderful story....so heart warming!
It's not luck. She earned it.
This video was posted over a year ago. I hope Thor is safe out in the wild and still visits this wonderful lady.
I can't remember the last time I smiled throughout every second of a 5 minute video. To be that devoted and attentive to Thor throughout his life is admirable. You have been rewarded for your kindness. It's on your face whenever you're with him. Just a beautiful story. Thor has the best of both worlds because you respected his natural instincts.
I understand u 😘
What a marvelously magical relationship you've fostered and nourished !!!
It's amazing he knew enough to go home to "mama" when he was injured. She's a lovely woman.
Poor mama.. Thor was so desperate out there all alone. What a beautiful bond you two have. You are a very special lady, you gained his trust and let him be wild as he is meant to be. Thor acts like a happy puppy when you call him, how cute! Thank you for taking good care of him, I wish you all the best.
That was a joy to me. God bless that wonderful lady.....and Thor.
What this woman and her husband did is incredible! Simply wonderful people!
Hi there, how're you?
I'm a Marine Corps Force Recon Vet & 100% Disabled after 2 deployments in Iraq and 3 in Afghanistan. The bond she has is absolutely beautiful just so special. It's to bad that there's not more people like this in the world. I've seen the absolute worst that Mankind can do to one another. But with little acts of simple kindness such as this maybe humanity still has a chance.
It has 🫶, it depends on us 🥰🙏
Healing Blessings to you 🫶😇
Thank you for your service and your kind words.
You are 100 % correct! 💯 And thank you for your service, Sir! All the best!
Thank you for the sacrifices you’ve made for this country. With people like you, maybe humanity has a chance.
It's so heartwarming to hear Thor talking to you. How beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. I think this dynamic is exactly how we domesticated dogs and cats.
I couldn’t have said this better. Thor does have an incredible voice and it is so good that she listens 🦌
Imagine if we domesticated deers instead of cats/dogs 🤔
Magical. God bless her & Thor. Again & again.
So precious. Thank you for saving this angel!
She fed him every three months from May until September… That’s love and dedication
@@rashidasnead865 greatest 😊😊😊
AMAZING! What you did for Thor is incredible! Now, all the deer can sense your innate goodness! Happy Holidays! ❤
A good hearted lady, it’s refreshing to see that’s still around!
That one brought me to tears. What a unique gift.
THIS WORLD NEEDS MORE LIKE YOU WITH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, COMPASSION AND FORGIVENESS YOU HAVE THE LIGHT!!!
What people need to realize is that animals are the real children of God. We humans are just hangers-on.
@@arthureaks3591 Never a truer word spoken. They live in the now, they show real love and loyalty and unconditional love.
AMEN.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤😁🌍🕊
You are a wonderful person for rescuing him. Now you are part of the herd, that is awesome. You raised him to be free, however he trusted you and came back to help him heal. I believe the herd trust you as well. The newest Deer whisperer. Thank you for rescuing him. May Thor also his herd live happy and long lives. 🦌❤️
Agree, what a wonderful person ❤
@@stevedriscoll2539 Ditto 👍✌️💜
My thoughts exactly. Sherry you got this absolutely right.
Amazing! Every 3 hour feedings are a lot of work. She deserves to be part of the pack.
I hope everyone is doing well.
This is one of the sweetest relationships I've ever seen! It's truly beautiful and absolutely amazing! It had me in tears knowing and seeing how special this is! Thor loves his mama 🦌 and his mama loves him unconditionally... you guys were meant for each other! Thank you for sharing, I will save this and watch it often 🥰 God bless!
God bless this woman for saving this deer's life and then raising him to be wild and not a pet. Other than cats and dogs, no animal should ever be someone else's pet. By giving him freedom, he chooses whether to return or not, and he always chooses to come back and see his mama and spend some quality time with her. ♥️
What a kind and beautiful lady. I love her-if you ever feel sad, just know there’s people like her out there and you know the world is OK💜
I was thinking exactly the same thing
Agreed.❤
The good Lord has blessed this woman with a rare gift. The way she responded to this little baby is truly amazing ❤️
Nothing is rare..is just different
@@luisespinoza1916 , With all due respect, I disagree. There's not many people that are blessed with this sort of gift from God. I have the same gift and it still amazes me how animals response to me. God receives all the glory for it. I'm just a vessel. However PRAISE THE LORD 🙌💕
@@dubyredburndarling6334 I respect you opinion too....my point is ,,"rare,' means l,'m in the position to classified it
.for me nothing is rare...because nobody has the position to discriminate....maybe unique (,, And many people has interesting habilities) and skills like that....thanks for the feedback anyway
Can't you just accept something without this gift from God shit. Is your god sitting somewhere saying "you get something but you don't ". Just grow up.
I just looked up the definition of the word rare. I think this qualifies.
Here it is:
rare
[rer]
ADJECTIVE
(of an event, situation, or condition) not occurring very often:
There are nearly 8 billion people in the world. I don’t know how you are in a position of authority as to the occurrences of a human rearing of a wild fawn but I have to believe if you think it’s unique it is most likely rare. What good comes from parsing words here? Are you an English major looking for a job? Maybe you should open a poem repair shop where people can make use of your giant intellect. 🤷🏻♂️
"He walks in two different worlds." What a beautiful way to describe the life Thor leads. Perfectly put.
Absolutely adorable that he can roam freely now with his herd and still come back and interact with the one that raised him and what's more show the herd she is to be trusted.
You're so blessed to have been able to step in as Thor's mother. No doubt he wouldn't have survived without you. I'm thrilled to know that you are such a good mother to him. I shall pray for his life journey to be one of good adventures and that he stays safe all the days of his life. 🙏🏻🦌
Agree completely. 👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏💕
Stories like this are so cool to me because they make you realize that the animals with whom we share the planet are no different than we are. They are us and we are them. Just because we don’t communicate on the same level 95% of the time or share the same concerns doesn’t mean that we’re all that different. If more of us would choose to engage and to learn, as opposed to viewing them only or primarily as a source of food or entertainment, relationships like this one would be so much more common.
Soyburglar,excellent comment, keep on Educating !!
I Thank GOD for you. Your sensitivity, kindness and caring for HIS creations .
Many Blessings to you, Thor and everyone around you 🙏❤️🙏
How wonderful! Even now that he's grown up he still comes to greet his "mom".💞
It’s heart-warming to know there are people like yourself so dedicated to making a difference in a little animals life. God bless you!
Great story...you were blessed with a deer relationship. Memories that will last you a lifetime.
Very cool story. Rare when people are intelligent enough to help a wild animal in the way they need, kudos to this lady 👏
You have my respect and admiration for not only helping an animal but also respecting its wildness. You are a true forest ambassador
Seeing a wild deer come running at the word "Milky!" just made my day.
This is so moving I can’t even begin to express just how listening to her talking about the deers consciousness has shifted my on perspective !! Thank you for this beautiful video. You are incredible. I can see that this was a huge gift that landed in your garden. Thank you for showing it to all of us. X ❤
I love it when people share how sentient animals truly are. The close proximity of those antlers to her face, though. 😬
There is no danger, they trust each other.
@@philiptownsend4026 my husband was gored by a goat accidentally on his face, but I'm sure deer are a bit more graceful than goats. The goat felt very bad, you could tell. They were both being clumsy and not paying close attention haha.
@@MermaidMakes I hope your husband recovered and that the goat was forgiven.
I'm a city person now living in the country but have encountered goats first hand a couple of times, they seemed friendly and playful but a bit exuberant, like dogs.
One time a goat jumped into my car and wanted to settle down in the passenger footwell, it wasn't easy getting the goat out, I think she wanted to adopt us. The goat wasn't homeless, it had human owners.
So as you say, it most probably was an accident.
I am aware that our cats have good sets of sharp weapons from birth and always respect them, particularly those from feral backgrounds, not quite tame.
@@philiptownsend4026 thank you! my husband is also what I would call a "city person" but with the heart of a country boy, as he took to this life out here in the country where I was raised pretty well, and goats quickly became one of his favorite animals.
I love goats, and I've always said they are like the dogs of the barnyard animals. Also very clumsy and silly like dogs can be. It happened because he went to sit down on a bench to play with them and one of them jumped up on the bench at the same time and hit my husband square in the chin with his horns on the way up, luckily avoiding any vital structures. He just had a bloody chin the rest of the day. The goats are always forgiven 😆.
It was a young yearling goat, so they both learned an important lesson of mutual respect that day!!
I think cats are creatures that demand respect whereas with dogs and goats it is easy to forget their sharp parts because of how personable they are until an accident like this happens.
Lady who raised him is a part of a herd..jealous ❤❣🦌
Sweet comment!
@@sharonsolana thanks
I really love this channel with its great stories and deep love for the animal world. Thank you!
Agreed! My wife and I watch a story from geo beats often times before turning in for the night. So heartwarming and adorable usually 😊
Much much love to all of you that help those that need help with unconditional love.
Bless you, Bless you, for being the animal lover you are! This truly touched me...
I'm a little teary...
You’re a really good person for helping him adjust to life in the wild. And yet it shows that they still feel the bond of the “mother” that raised them! Very special…I hope he lives a happy life and you as well! Keep up the good work…and thanks for sharing! Gary Brent Mason
❤ this story! I hope Thor has a long happy life! Thank you for your kindness to him!
What a beautiful story!
What a sweet little man! Your family is so lucky to have him!
Please keep us updated , what an uplifting story. Love how Thor as he ages still loves his mat. 💙💙
I have a HUGE amount of respect for what you did and the sacrifices you made!! Love & Hugs!!
You have an aunt with a gentle soul. Such a beautiful story.
After what is going in this world we still have good people like you .God bless you.
Nothing short of beautiful. Watching Thor return the love you've given him is just so special to see, it lasts forever!
What a once in a lifetime, life changing experience! I love that she made sure to educate herself on the best way to take care of Thor. Such a beautiful story
You’re beauty wish I could watch you smile 😊 endlessly @ melz
Thank you so much for this story. I love it. This really touches my heart. Not only did you rescue him, got him medical attention, raised and love him, but you let him be a deer and live his life with other deer. I love that he comes back to you for a visit. 🥰❤🦌
You guys should realize this is a channel sharing a story you are not commenting directly to the lady in the video.
We need more people like her in this horrible society that we are living today!!I. I can see she's a good person ✌️
Dawn is a good model for everyone who wants to live in the world meaningfully.
Oh there's plenty of people like us! Everybody here would do everything they could for that little guy. The world isn't that bad anymore; and it keeps getting better slowly.
Hunters trappers fisherman butchers idiots e we I’ll never understand. They need another life
@@patriziafilippi3480 you're 💯 right!!!!!
So true need ppl who really care for stray animals who r left homeless w o a mother. Love that this dear found this human to take him her in..
So sweet. I hope he lives a good long deer life. He’s a nice looking buck.
What a lucky, lucky lady !. I bet that even after all this time, her heart still pounds every time she shouts 'THOR !' and he comes bouncing along !. Plus, the rest of the herd trusting her also is a mega added bonus !
Imagine how happy she is when he stops by like once a month with his whole fam. Imagine when he introduces his kiddos to her eventually. Lol such good feels, can only imagine how in love she'll be
@@Terranjourneys - yeah, I'd LOVE to experience what this lovely lady is blessed with !
This was absolutely priceless. My hope and prayer is that Thor does not trust the wrong humans out there.
The world needs more people like you!
That is so sweet of her to care for that precious Deer!🙌🏽
How ever so sweet!!! This lady has dedicated herself to understanding and looking after this baby deer. In her care, look what a gorgeous big boy he has become. She has informed herself, learning all about his species to give him the best care ever. By giving him love, she received love back and became him mum, his friend and his mentor. What a huge privilege she has rightfully earned! They have bonded for life and one day, he will bring his baby to meet his grandma. What a delightful moment that will be for her.
May God bless her and this beautiful deer who she has raised. 🦌
Ingemewis As a human, the woman cannot “mentor” a deer, or any other animal species. This animal had to acquire that kind of knowledge from it’s own kind, or follow it’s natural instincts. It is one thing to learn about an animal and how best to care for it, but that is not “mentoring,” which is totally different from caring for and developing a relationship with it.
To ‘K’
I would suggest you read an article by Maribeth Decker called, FROM ANIMAL MASTER TO ANIMAL MENTOR.
You see, it is all a matter of how one perceives the role of the human. Luckily for the animals, humans choose to ‘mentor’ them and no longer look down on them as our slaves! Only primitive man would still be stuck in that thinking.
Animals today are our companions or our children. They actually soothe our souls. Humans have chosen to be their ‘mums’ or ‘dads’ and openly call themselves that. I do not have a problem with that.
I do not subscribe to the ‘master’ attitude. I have animals, I am their mum, their partner, their playmate AND their mentor. Maribeth Decker writes, to this effect, the animals guide us so we can mentor them properly by showing us their likes, their dislikes, their vulnerabilities and so on.
For humans, the ‘role’ has evolved to where we look after our animals’ welfare and in addition to loving them, we mentor them.
So, to address your ‘objection to using the wrong word’, I would advise you that YES!!! animals have human ‘mentors’. We are no longer their ‘masters’ and thank God for that! This, in no way, takes away from the animals’ birth parents. In the absence of humans, ‘they’ do the teaching of how to fight, to hunt, survival and looking after.
It’s always advisable to do one’s research first as one would learn a great deal!
@@ingemewis2043 You have offered nothing more than unqualified, non authoritative, subjective, personal opinion, and it certainly does not emanate from the very highest and supreme source of knowledge, wisdom, and authority that has charged man with dominion over all creatures of the earth. I don’t subscribe to your theory of mentoring animals, nor your abdication of authority and dominion over them. I know that some who have, ended up as animal feed. I have no need nor use for being lectured by the like of you and those who worship at the altar of wildlife. Animals are here, to some extent, as beasts of burden and for the things they can provide for the benefit of man. You and your fellow travelers are not going to upend this natural status of man’s relationship to the other creatures, not even close to any significant degree. You have not altered my understanding of what place animals occupy in this world, and the thought that you or any humans can “mentor” an animal is as nonsensical as the thought that they can become disciples, or even apostles!
@@ingemewis2043 If your reasoning were relentlessly pursued to it’s logical end, animals would qualify for internships in medicine, government, and business; they would be eligible for appointment to the cabinet as department heads-Secretary of the Treasury, Defense, State,etc; National Security Advisor, Chief Economic Advisor; Supreme Court-even as Chief Justice! In fact, one may be nominated for the Presidency! Thankfully, the lunacy will end long before that, though considering the current President, it might not.

The little beeping sounds he makes are insanely cute!! Thank you for rescuing this gorgeous animal and posting. Your kindness has magical benefits and inspiration for all that watch. Warm wishes love and light.
@TVT You probably love to step on puppies and skin cats while they are alive.
You're a really nice person. ❤
Bet he gonna taste real good
Thank you for being kind to Thor.
What a wonderful person. We should all aspire to be as kind, compassionate and open like her.
This was an absolute joy to watch! Thor's baby bleat made me smile! This woman is awesome! I love her being accepted into Thor's deer family! How wonderful is that to be surrounded by a herd of deer, sitting around you in a trust circle? She's earned their trust. Thank you so much for sharing!❤
That was awesome! I really like that you understood that he's not a pet and is meant to be wild. Even then, he adopted you as family. What a blessing.
I loved your story and seeing the interaction.... You were truly blessed with such a beautiful experience ~ Thanks for sharing !
God has placed you 2 together, thank you so much for your love and caring
We need more stories like yours these days. Acts of kindness and compassion.
Thank you for being you and showing the rest of us what true compassion and selflessness looks like.
I especially love the part that even the deer has grown up, he would still sit on the mat peacefully like he did when he was a child
We have that one thing from our shildhoods ee can't let go of, it gives us a sense of security.
This is wonderful. You are a wonderful, loving,kind and caring person. We need more people like you
What a true gift! Nature is perfect. Whatever happened it was all meant to be! Thor lost his mom and that is tragic. However, he found you or you found him and that is amazing! Lovely story. 💕x
My goodness, this is such a beautiful story of rescue followed by an ongoing relationship with a human, even as this animal lives and interacts with other deer in the wild. It's simply extraordinary! And I feel it must be rare to have all the components align in such a way to make this possible.
It just takes a special person, and this woman is that person. Animals are already special which is obvious, as long as humans respect them.
I just hope Thor is not too friendly with other humans who may not be so charitable.
It's strange how I can watch the most horrific videos of bad things happening to humans but someone saving a deer puts a smile on my face
This is a precious story. Thank you for sharing!
What an amazing experience to have. Many people probably Envy you because this is a relationship that is not common. God bless you your family and the deer family.
WHAT A SWEET ❤️ HEARTED LADY TO NURSE THOR THE DEER ALONG IN HIS LIFE....WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE HER !!!!!
That is awesome. He's still has a lot of the wild in him and knows he can trust you. This is special, thanks for sharing. Wish more people would treat any animal right.
Awww! 🥰 that was amazing. This deer was saved by an angel. That was so sweet of this woman.👍😀🙏
Another example that animals are not trophies. This beautiful and wise deer is showing us that it’s ok to trust, and if things don’t go like we expect ,to be resilient. Enjoy every moment of your life, your freedom; be present and show gratitude to those who looked over you. Such humble and wise animal ❤ respect to her human mama
Seeing Thor’s little antler’s sprouting was so cute. Thanks to loving couple, he now has a great life.🥰
