2. That was an extraordinarily tame deer

4. Indeed. It would be interesting to know why the mom was so tame.

It doesn't look like this occurred in any sort of wildlife sanctuary where she might be expected to have a lot of human contact.

Fascinating and extremely touching.

3. OMG, I am in tears here watching this profoundly moving...

...clip. How did the momma deer know to do this? And then bringing her baby back to the car!

5. That is amazing. I can only assume the mother deer had previous

contact with people and knew some were kind and helpful. I'm so glad the baby was rescued from the wires.

On edit:
Note that video mashup at that site is the same as the one in the OP, apart from the middle video clip.

9. Aw, but I loved the story!

And I still love it, as a charming fairy tale that gets you in the feels.
Still, you're a smart one.

11. I don't get why people spend time creating glurge like this.

...or, why people believe it without much of a second thought.
