Because of my interest in deer preservation and management in our county, this orphan fawn was brought to me to raise with the intention of turning him back to the wild at the appropriate time. The Yorkie pup, Pookus, and fawn, Buckie, were raised together and developed a close bond. One picture is of their first meeting and the beginning of their story. Months later, after the fawn had returned to the wild, he came back to pay us a visit. Both the yearling and the Yorkie were equally proud to once again greet each other with the same gesture of touching noses. Buckie stayed two days and then returned to his rightful place in the wild to enjoy nature at its best. Thus, the story of the initial bonding of these two unlikely friends was created. In a time of prejudice and lack of understanding of differences, it's refreshing to observe how two creatures so different from one another can overcome issues and become the best of friends. This story is about friendship... friendship between a dog and a deer... friendship between a human and an animal... but most of all, this is a story of unconditional love. "Although we are so different in our looks, and in our name. Our hearts are filled with so much love, and that makes us the same."
