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.
