Fawn Rescue – Gotta love Moms – and men with the jaws of life!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and rescue lovers……This morning I found this e-mail waiting for me from Charlene in TX. Charlene recently lost her beloved Bailey as you will recall. Charlene, hope you are doing well. Your e-mail really made my weekend and now I hope to do the same for the residents of Bassethoundtown……
Start of e-mail……
On the Morning of May 18th 2011 someone noticed a deer in a yard that appeared to be franticly looking for something in the rocks that form a wall on property line in Brush Prairie, WA. The deer wouldn’t leave the yard. In the area the deer was concentrating on you could hear a baby fawn crying in the rocks.
Some of the rocks and smaller boulders were moved and you could see a baby fawn’s face in the rocks. He had apparently fallen in or crawled in through one of the gaps and was now trapped. The larger boulders were too heavy to move and the rocks could cave in on the baby deer if moved.
Finally the Clark County Fire District 3 was called. The B Shift came out and were able to move the larger rocks out of the way with the Jaws of Life enough to be able to reach in a pull the baby fawn out and reunited it with its momma. The fawn was probably stuck in their most of the night quickly went on to nurse. One of the neighbours took some video clips of the fire department’s rescue. The clips have been edited. Enjoy.
Ahhhhhhhhhh……….
More loving feel good tubes later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

The video wasn’t embeded but I searched in you tube and found it. What a great ending to something that could have been very tragic if it wasn’t noticed by a caring person.
I can see the video in here now.
Thanks Cindy – I fixed it after your comment. I usually check that out before I post. What a cute little baby!
Hey Cat, I just subscribed to your site – I love it! I love these stories about the dogs in your life. I have two rescue dogs, both ranching dogs, and they are two of the loves of my life. Thanks for all of the work you do for our furry friends.
xo,

Oh, thanks so much Binko! I knew you had a senior dog. It is wonderful to hear you have 2. I bet they are treated like royalty. I hope to hear much more about both of them and YOU!
What a beautiful ending, but I don’t think the fawn and mother will ever be able to trust humans completely, but they may have a different slant on humans for the future.
