Imagine waking up on Monday morning to hear frantic splashing in your backyard pool (first, we have to imagine that we have enough money to own a backyard pool), and running outside to find a baby deer trying to stay afloat! That's what happened to this wholesome, unsuspecting dad one day. He saved the baby deer in time, and to his surprise, she kept coming back to him and his family so often that she ended up being one of their precious pets! 

They named her 'Dottie', and she instantly became part of the family. From bonding with their cats and doggos, to even finding a raccoon friend from the wild woods and adopting her own "pet", this fawn-alicious pet loves to show off her precious personality and how deerly she treats the hoomans who love her. It's the perfect heartwarming story for your Monday morning, so scroll down and enjoy this wholesome tidbit to give you a burst of pawsitivity to start the week!

    We understand it's hot outside, but maybe you should think twice before jumping in the water if you don't know how to swim! Thank goodness this fortunate father was there to save her in time.

    Who doesn't love a good brushing session? Well, our doggo doesn't love it, and now that we're looking closely, Dotty looks a little sus about this brush. She would probably rather be off eating berries, but she'll have time for that later.
