(I don't know why the deer is not afraid).
https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-rescue-dog-deer-play-tag-video
A Florida man captured video of his rescue dog making a new and unlikely best friend this week.
Ethan Cole was watching his German Shepherd, Ike, race along the fence around his mothers Lakewood Ranch backyard. He then noticed a deer on the other side, running along with Ike in a game of tag.
The two animals chase each to one end of the yard and back again several times over the almost 2-minute video. A second pup, a pug, almost gets run over by the excited dog.
I watched them for a while before I thought to start videotaping, Cole told the Bradenton Herald. It was really fun to watch. That deer could have taken off into the woods at any time. They were clearly enjoying each other."

(16,254 posts)2. I had a set of triplet fawns which came to my house with their mother.
The mother ate the pears off my tree while the fawns moved to the chainlink fence and rubbed noses with their German Shepherd. No fear whatsoever. They seemed to enjoy each other and I watched them doing that several evenings.
My neighbor's boxer is confined to their yard via an electric fence system. She knows the dimensions of the area she can't cross. When the deer come by, they tease her because they know she won't chase them. It is fun to watch.
Love the video.
