Goldendoodle Hero Rescues Drowning Fawn And Forms Special Bond
Harley, a lovable six-year-old Goldendoodle, became an unexpected hero when he saved a fawn from drowning in a lake.
His dad spotted him 200 feet from the shore. Terrified at first, he then realized his dog was on a rescue mission!
Here’s the full story.
A Brave And Selfless Act
It was a regular day when Harley spotted the helpless fawn struggling in the water. Without a moment’s hesitation, Harley sprang into action, diving into the lake to rescue the frightened animal.
Harley’s owners, Ralph and Patricia Dorn, were astonished by what they saw. Ralph recalls running down to the lake, seeing Harley swimming with determination, guiding the fawn towards safety.
Each time the fawn attempted to veer off course, Harley gently nudged it back, slowly but surely bringing it closer to the shore. It was a remarkable sight as Harley, with patience and care, ensured the fawn reached land safely.
An Unexpected Friendship Was Made
The rescue didn’t just end at the water’s edge.
The very next morning, the fawn was heard calling for Harley outside the Dorns’ house. Intrigued, Harley went out to find the little fawn waiting for him.
They touched noses and sniffed each other, and it was clear that a unique bond had formed between them.
“He just has this good heart in him that he naturally does the right thing.” Patricia observed.
The fawn, despite being from a different species, recognized Harley as a friend and protector. Their new friendship shows that animals can form strong bonds, even if they are different kinds.
For Ralph and Patricia, seeing Harley rescue the fawn and become friends with it was really touching and they couldn’t be prouder.
