Wow!!!!!!! That was crazy, and there wasn't much they could do for the dog. I'd have thrown the camera at the deer. Imagine if that had been someone's kid instead...

I think the cat was the least of our worries. It barely got stomped at all. The dog was literally being deerhandled...

lmao what a dumb bitch! she gonna stand there and scream while the dog gets killed. the deer was obviously protecting the kid and they possibly did something to piss it off before the camera came on.
BUT who the **** have deers walking around on their front lawn?

^ Same thing I was thinking...
The woman screaming is kind of  and for just screaming and doing nothing but filming.
Poor dog!

Deer are wild animals, and if they feel like their children are threatened they will attack. Clearly the deer was trying to protect her child, but why she felt the need to stomp the crap out of the dog is definitely beyond me. Perhaps the dog was walking up the sidewalk and she felt threatened.

Curiosity killed the cat. dog.
What a stupid deer. She got mad, so instead of attacking the curious cat, she attacked the dog. Wtf? She pulled a Kanye!
I also wonder what happened after that. She was like talking to the deer: "Hey, Wait, No, Hey!" then it stopped and looked at her. Did it stomp her too?

Also, dogs are close relatives to wolves. Most herbivores like deer are always on the lookout for wolves and other predators to protect their children, so I wouldn't be surprised if the deer thought the dog was some sort of wolf approaching and attacked it before it could get to its child. Let's face it, animals are obviously not the sharpest knives in the drawer...
Still, I hope the dog is okay now.

Here is what the woman who posted the original video had to say in the description box of the video:
Quote:
"A newborn fawn creates a dangerous situation when mom gets protective. Starts cute, ends scary.
I cut the footage because I ended up filming the dog's owner, whose privacy had to be protected. (How or why I filmed her, I can't say. I was too shocked to think, it's not like I expected any of this to happen.)
The dog eventually left limping—since posting here we have been able to contact the lady. THE DOG IS OKAY, but traumatized.
River, my deer-whispering cat, is fine—we'll see if he learned his lesson.
We did call animal control, there was "nothing they could do" to prevent further trouble.
Yes, my being there filming contributed to the problem, stressing the doe. And yes, I feel bad about it.
My children live here. Kids walk to school every day. I'd feel a lot better if I knew none of them would ever dream to pet a fawn. I may not have helped this poor dog, I sure believe I might still get to help others.
=============
Now, on a personal note:
I am receiving a lot of very angry comments, some of them quite colourful, regarding my failure to help this dog and what it indicates about the darkness of my soul...
You know what? It looks like I brought it on myself.
Judge for yourself. In an earlier posting, I wrote:
"As to why I didn't stop filming to help the dog: there were other people around, the dog wasn't mine, I selfishly felt lucky to have something extraordinary to film.
If that makes me an idiot... well, that wouldn't exactly be news to anyone in these parts."
I have since retrieved that thoughtless comment, but it's still out there somehow.
Writing this in a hurry, having read some 240 comments and getting late for work, I was trying to diffuse tension with a bit of humour, something I do all the time with people who know me. My mistake was to attempt this with a global audience of people who don't know me, and therefore understood, quite plainly, that this dog's suffering was something I found amusing, a cool thing to film so I could later have a good laugh, rewatching it with my drinking buddies.
My bad, as they say. The tension I was trying to diffuse was mine, because this was not fun to witness at all—it was as horrifying as it was unexpected. I realize that for anyone who's never seen a deer in their garden, it was all too easy to predict (lots of Monday morning quarterbacks out there, geniuses who, three seconds into the vid, knew exactly how it had to end), but if you live in Cranbrook you have deer in your garden 100 days a year, nothing bad ever happens, so you forget it's unnatural. That's precisely why it is so important for me to share this video with the rest of my community.
Looking back, trying to explain why I didn't even think of helping the dog, putting myself mentally back in the heat of the moment, this is what I've discovered: when you watch this on youtube, you feel like this never-ending attack should have been stopped somehow, it is unbearable and you wonder why no one moved to shoo the deer away. (Good luck with that, by the way.)
Here is the part you may want to understand: as it unfolds live in front of your eyes, you don't expect that beating to last forever like it did, you're positive it'll be over in a second because it seems so crazy, somehow you know that by the time you get inside your house and get some stick that would scare away that doe, it'll all be over one way or another. So you stay there watching and, in my case, filming the train wreck.
"Feeling lucky" was a particularly moronic choice of words, and indeed I want to apologize for it.
My MLA once sent an email a little too fast—now I know how he felt the next day."
