Since I've seen the posts and points about the season, people that have received the email and more....
I'm sure this has turned into a net legend.
Net legend or real, the story is adorable. The pictures are precious.
Oh I believe the story is real. It's just the time and place that seem to be the question. Pet/deer stories are common where I live. A few years ago, some local teens out on their property saw a pregnant doe who had just been hit by a car. Because they were both hunters, they were able to cut open the doe and save the fawn. The fawn stayed with them on their property- with their dogs, until it was old enough to go to a petting zoo. They showed the fawn inside the house, which was hysterical!
