“Storm just plunged into the water and started swimming out to the fawn, grabbed it by the neck, and started swimming to shore,” the dog’s owner, Mark Freeley, told CBS New York.

He just jumped in and brought the deer back to shore.
Media titles are frequently technically incorrect.
The main thing is he rescued the deer.
There is also a video at the link to the article.

The dog just rescued the deer, wanted to play with it, but did not hurt it.
Look at the video at the link to the article.

Ha! My brother had a yellow lab and we had a Norwegian elkhound. My brother shot a couple of quail and his dog did a beautiful job of retrieving them. He commented on how much smarter his dog was than Thumper the elkhound. After a while I looked back and saw Thumper with the head out one side of his mouth and feet out the other. I said “hey dad, Thumper is a lot smarter than Dennis’s dog. He knows what to do with quail. My brother wasn’t amused.

They say that Lyme Disease came from Plum Island to the mainland (Old Lyme,Ct) via infected tick(s) attached to deer from Plum Island.
Google Plum Island and lyme

Yeah, the dog was trying to “save” the fawn. If by save you mean eat.
