Look at Lu running through the woods. That’s pure joy. Those who don’t believe animals feel things have never watched animals running or swimming or playing for the fun of it.

He's the best surrogate daddy for that deer. So precious seeing how gentle he was with her. I hope she brings her own babies to see him and the 2 ladies.

We had a rescued buck in the 1980's , living in my area . His name was Wawa ( that's where his milk was purchased) . The old man who raised him put orange bows on his antlers and orange body paint on his flanks . That deer lived for 20 years , or so . He lived in the wild but never far from where he was found and cared for. In the winter the neighbors would purchase bales of hay / clover or whatever deer eat . Anyway , when Wawa was about 15/16 years old : he started to just hang out with his humans , again. He had a little shed , food , water and cats , to hang with. The old man ( Mr.Toto ) thought he came home , " to die " . Yet , he lived 4 or 5 more years . The entire neighborhood loved that deer . He was buried in a back pasture on Mr.Toto's property . Beautiful creatures , indeed . 💕

Ludovica is beautiful and I’m glad she has people and their dog who raised her as a fawn and still look after her.

These sisters are amazing, not only they rescued Ludovica, they also raised her as a wild animal, meeting her needs and making the best choices (never walk near the street, orange collar visible to humans but not to deers, etc..). The dedication and attention towards Ludovica's wellbeing are fantastic. Leo is the best friend ever, I love how his personality switches from proud and noble while standing still and looking at the horizon, but than he feels playful and smiling. These ladies definitely know how to properly raise and educate animals. Lovely story. I wish this happy family all the best.

Lu- "My Daddy has floppy ears. And I love him!"

Leo is so regal while Lu is so playful. They really are so different. Yet they learn from each other. Really inspiring.

Lovely! What a beautiful friendship. I noticed the charming drawing of Ludovica: have you ever thought about writing and illustrating a book about the friendship between Leo and Ludovica?

Leo is like any other father who is sad that the daughter left the house! Sweet story who teaches us a lot!

I saw another story very similar to this one, but it happened in America, about 10 years ago. The dog raised the fawn, and they were close. The fawn grew up and went out to mate, and then brought her babies back to her home where she was raised. So sweet.

Beautiful family, beautiful farm..Sending Blessings to everyone

Nothing i love more than odd animal friends

You two ladies and Leo gave Lu the best possible chance of finding a mate and having her own babies. I'd love to see an update eventually. 🤗✨❤️

A match made in heaven 😍!

Loved your story! It's wonderful when there is a connection between different species. This dog not only displayed intelligence, but real emotion and care for the little deer. Thankyou so much, deeply appreciated!🌹🙏

So wholesome! ❤

Leo is such an awesome big brother and the two sisters are awesome moms. What a beautiful story, all three of you did a great job of raising the baby deer. 👏🏼

Surrounded by cute animals and stunning scenery... yup, I'm jealous! What an adorable story.. :o)

Hello new friends in Bavaria Germany from a very small town in U.S.A Awww that is just so precious. Thank you both for taking such good care of her and thank you for sharing their story and your story as well.

It's always so sweet to see a hunting dog treating a creature it would typically be trained to hunt/chase as it's baby. It reminds me of my Springer Spaniel who passed away back in 2006, she was terrified of thunder/fireworks so she wasn't a good hunting dog, but she would watch over me and my sister when we were young while my parents weren't looking, and would treat every small creature we brought home as if they were her pups, despite her never actually having any pups of her own (My parents spayed her when she was a pup). I miss her a lot.

If only humans could learn to live together and accept our differences. Beautiful story 💕

I love how Leo sits there so regally watching over the farm/deer/family. 😊❤

Thank you for helping the baby deer I think it's wonderful how the dog took raising the baby into his own paws I swear the mama deer knew that there was something wrong with the baby so she couldn't keep up with her so she's like oh these are wonderful people I'm going to leave her here I know she'll be taken care of thank you for making the mama deer right and taking care of her baby you guys are wonderful

Awww, the paws together. 🐾 Nice job ladies and of course Leo! 💕

That animal instinct kicked in…!! So great when animals care for one another…!! Especially unlikely animal friends…!! Such a beautiful story…!! Love them both… and you to for caring for them as well…!! Makes me smile when animals are happy…!! AND THEY LOOK HAPPY..!! 🐾💕🦌🐕🐾💕🦌🐕🐾💕🥰🥰

So moving I cried. Stuff like this makes life worth living for me! Y'all did everything right, you lucky ducks!!! God bless from Texas, USA

What a smart caring mother. She knew her child won't survive in the wild and found her fawn a good home with an adopted parent as well 💜🥰

Thank you Leo for being such good support system. Thank you ladies for saving this beautiful fawn.

Thank you very much for all 🙏🙏🙏

Vizslas are such a sweet breed, I'm not surprised this bond was possible! Blessings to all 👍🙏❤️🌈🪶👍

Such Beauty- in both of you, your area and your animals. Leo is a furry Saint.

Ein wunderbarer Beitrag! Tierrettung, dann diese außergewöhnliche Tierfreundschaft; Mensch/Tier Interaktion und schließlich die finale Auswilderung- Perfekt!👍 Viele Grüße aus Baden-Württemberg

The sweetest, most loving story. Thank you for the great videos! You are awesome mothers!

Leo carries himself with such a paternal air - it appears that care-giving suits him extraordinarily well!

Awww he's so precious!

Precious buddies. I would love to live where this video was taken, it's absolutely gorgeous and both the doggy and the deer are beautiful as well. I could watch a day's long video of this adopted deer and the doggy and his family. What a day in the life is like or was like when the deer was still living on they're land, I find these 2 very interesting. I absolutely wish I could have more animals and have a non profit sanctuary for Homeless, abused and unwanted animals. I have such a big heart for all sorts of animals. We rescued a Chihuahua named mini girl back in 2015 who was around 2 to 3 years old and was extremely thin she was nothing but skin and bones and weighed just 3 pounds she is now 11 pounds. She needs to be hand fed or she will not eat, not even a Tbone steak. My husband made my son a steak and mini girl took the steak and licked it and took it off the plate but did not take a bite of it. She has snuck the wet cat food from her rescued brother but will not eat her own wet dog food out of a bowl or small plate. She used to take a kurnel of dog food walk away and eat it one at a time but will not do that anymore either. So she is fed regular human food and by hand. I've spent both my stimulus checks on her at the veterinary hospital #1 for getting her teeth cleaned and x-rays and 15 teeth needed to come out and that costed us $1,200 and then the 2nd was to be spayed and I also found 3 little lumps that were tumors around 1 of her nipples and she had 1 of her boobs removed and sent to pathology which costed $600 just for that to be told she didn't have cancer thank goodness and that surgery and pain meds for afterwards was $1,100. Thank goodness for the help I got with the stimulus relief checks. If I got any more I'd use them again on both my newly adopted male cats I rescued from my nextdoor neighbor who was a drug addict and never fed her outdoors cats and never spent time with them. If they did get fed it was when she was starting her day on methamphetamine's (crank, speed) and she would feed them around 11:30 12 midnight. I live in a duplexsoicould hear everything through our walls so as we are sleeping or laying down watching TV just waiting to fall asleep she is having other drug addicts knocking on her window tweaking outside our bedroom windows. I was so pissed atheritold her how awful she treated the animals inside her small 1 bedroom home that she never let the cats 16 cats at 1 time never let them get fresh air or touch the grass outside. She neglected the 2 cats outside I bought them a 30 pound bag of cat food and started feeding them and giving them fresh water and she would throw a handful of cat food on the actual porch step and the dry food would mix with dirt and debree from the wind and it's not right didn't even put the food in a bowl of on a plate just didn't care for them. So I told her I was taking them from her. She didn't say no your not or say anything at all. So I brought them both inside and 1 is Blackie for being black but she named him the N word and would call him by that name just disgusting and a disgraceful person she was. And the other at is dark grey and his name is Hansolo. They have been outside for at least 3 years maybe even longer. Hansolo hasn't sprayed inside the house but blackie came in and sprayed in the kitty box, thank goodness it was a easy clean up. Blackiehas a soft bed in a tote that I cut a hole for him to get inside his safe place to sleep especially when it's raining and windy. I also puthisdry foodbowl inside the back corner of inside of his house to keep debree from the wind out of hisfood and I change his water many times a day if there is stuff from The trees from the wind. Blackie stays outside pretty much all the time but does come in to chill and cuddle for awhile almost every day. He takes off across the street Togo fight and be with the girls and some nights doesn't come home which makes me worry. And hansolo I'm loves to be inside and goes outside everyday if he wants to go out I let him Choose. Him and minigirl love to play together they both sleep with me inside my blankets at bedtime every night. I wish I had a bigger home and a large back yard that was fenced in all the way around. Ours is a big back yard but there are 4 families in both duplex units that use the back yard. So 1 of the sides of fence is not up. Oh the neighbor wouldn't stop using dope especially while doing dialysis and she also had COPD from smoking weed and smoking methamphetamine's she ever smoked cigarettes either. Well she left her home in a ambulance and take to the emergency room at Kaiser hospital which she should've went to our county hospital where they could've done better care. She is on medical and she was sent to a rehab 4 days later and then 2 a different place that excepted her insurance believe it was a convalescent/ rehab and on February 14th Valentine's day she was found face first in her lunch tray. That is so horrible to die like that. She was horrible to the cats but didn't deserve to die I that fashion, all alone. Her ex boyfriend had just left her side he visited her every day she was in the hospital. I'm glad I had already taken the boys. And Paul had to take all the cats inside the house and bring them to his 3 bedroom house.. i seen the other cats already at Paul's they looked healthy and happy. I felt so mad at janet for not taking care of her drug problem because she could've lived a lot longer she was just 58 or turned 59 last September. I think my cats miss her too sometimes they go and sit on the front porch of her old duplex, maybe having old memories of her......

Herzlichen Dank fürs Teilen dieser rührenden Geschichte und des tollen Films.Ihr seid alle vier ein tolles Team. Herzliche Grüsse aus der Schweiz 😉

One of the best I’ve seen 👍😍❤️💯👏👏👏👏👏

The Mother deer left the fawn at the sisters farm as if she knew it was the best place! Amazing!

More blessings 🙏

That's so sweet 💕

It is a very heartwarming video 🥰 And huge extra points for you to be well informed and pronounce "vizsla" the right way! 👌👏👏👏 Many non-Hungarians have difficulties with it 😄 I am glad this beautiful Hungarian breed is also quite famous outside of my country :) my family used to have a vizsla, but her hunting side was much stronger, so I don't think she would have made such a beautiful friendship 😅 However, vizslas originally were bred for smaller animals, especially birds, so it might be easier to have that connection to a deer.🤔

They are Beautiful beings and so are you ~ Thank you for sharing this with us ~ Enjoy your blessed land!

😁 What a neat story! Sad that the mother deer abandoned her baby but the way this family took care of the fawn was incredible! I also did not realize deer couldn’t see the color orange, which is interesting! Great video!!!

This was so beautiful to watch. What amazing sisters you both are ♥️

Thats a beautiful story and how Leo takes care of her. And its nice you let others know that she is family! God bless you all!

What a wonderful life you created for this little dear. Thank you for your devotion and for sharing this amazing story. You are great storytellers and have hearts of gold. It was such a pleasure to listen to it and watch the video.

A handsome hound, and a beautiful fawn - who would have thought that two polar opposite species could be such good friends? A very heartwarming story, and kudos to those wonderful sisters who put so much care and dedication into their care of that little fawn. Greetings to you from Australia!

I wanna live in that place. Just looks so peaceful.

A very nice story. Thanks so much for sharing their journey with me and everyone!

Der Leo ist so gut mit dem Reh! Thank you ladies for feeding the baby when it needed milk.

What a beautiful story from one of my favorite places.

Lu and Leo got family ! They'll be fine ! Thanks for caring and sharing ! God will bless this special relationship !!!

Thank you so much for saving this wonderful sweetheart 💛💚💙🩵

I've been homebound for 5 weeks with a serious illness and that story made me smile it was so sweet... thank you!

What a wonderful story of friendship ❤️ all the way from Germany!

How sweet... so nice seeing them play chase in this beautiful scenery ...just them living a lovely life

What a wonderful thing, God Bless those ladies and Leo. A wonderful dog.

I sure hope they see these comments. They are remarkable. The women and the animals. Beautiful.

Remarkable story of rescue and example of how animals can be much better people than people sometimes, of course with the exception of day and night moms and Leo who shared their heart with a stranded baby.

This mirrors our story almost completely! Over 20 years ago we also got an abandoned baby fawn (a male though) whom we bottle raised into adulthood and just like here he became more and more independent, visiting less frequently the longer he was on his own in the woods. And also just like here, we attached an orange collar so that the hunters would recognize him. Unfortunately at only 20 months old he contracted some sort of bacterial lung infection and passed away (he hadn't visited in over 2 weeks which was unusual, so we went looking for him and found him already dead in one of his favourite spots in the forest). That was a sad day...

I believe 💯% she will bring her babies to see you. Lud feels so safe with you all.

This is such a wonderful rescue story and I love how dedicated those two sister were in making sure that beautiful Ludovica was fed every two hours 24/7and I am very impressed with Leo the dog too.

Just want to say thank you for helping these special needs animals... we need more ppl like you in the world!

Leo has his heart set on Lu and she blossomed! You both championed her survival and happiness together as only the kindest of sisters can! thank you!!

What a wonderful story and she told it so well.

Isn't Leo such a lovely chap. It was so nice for Lu to have a warm protective furry friend as she was growing up an orphan. Thank you kind ladies for caring for this lively creature.

Leo is the very definition of a "Good Boy."

Such a heartwarming story 🥰

Beautiful story! Some bonds are stronger than species.

That is so adorable the way they interact with each other❤❤

Thank you for saving this sweet fawn.

truly heartwarming and remarkable work

What a lovely pair of friends ❤️❤️❤️

Leo is a gorgeous dog. And Lu is beautifully sweet.

Your dog has such a Good Heart,you know he wants to be a Foster Dad,it's in him to help.

Animals💕, all animals are precious.

You 2 ladies are very beautiful human beings. Leo is such a great man. Y'all have raised a beautiful baby.

Zu süß! 😍😍 Und Leo sieht aus wie ein sehr stolzer Vater! 😌🥰 (Und ich kann sein Erstaunen nachvollziehen; ich kann es auch kaum glauben, wie weit mir mein Sohn inzwischen über den Kopf gewachsen ist! 😄😁) Alles Gute für Euch alle! ❤️

This is beautiful ❤❤🦌🐕

Ach so toll! Die geschichte ist wunderbar!

So precious to watch the two of them together it's a beautiful thing

You sisters made my day, today, thank you! With all the negative news on You Tube your video is like 'fresh air'......you are very compassionate, good people! God blerss.

Thanks to all of you

Thanks for this beautiful story. I had a Veszla for about ten years,his name was Oden,best dog I ever owned.

Es ist wunderschön bei Euch dort draußen - davon kann ich in NRW nur träumen! 😘

Sweetest thing I've ever seen! My heart is swelling with love❤️ God's creatures loving each other so much🙏🤗

That is the perfect place for a dog, or for any other animal. Huge open space, very few cars, some small streams ... they have everything they need to enjoy life.

This is such an amazing story. I love not only that the dog and deer bond so quickly and so well for so long. But I love that the sisters seemed to be very observant of the fact that the mother hadn't returned. And I feel like the ultimate goal was to return her to the wild. With the collar and freedom to roam, good for you, humankind and nature's beautiful creatures.

She is gorgeous! Thank you for saving another little baby. They deserve to live. Leo is such a beautiful dog. So cool he stands so sure of himself. God Bless and thank you for sharing this beautiful story.

Thank you for being so observant! They could not be a luckier pair.💗

What a beautiful friendship, Leo is a great looking dog, he is very regal looking.

Oh sweet stoic Leo, a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

Leo is amazing!!! And so are the 2 Mamas!

An absolutely GORGEOUS dog with a HUGE HEART filled with so much love for this baby. However you ladies raised Leo you were absolutely PERFECT! This is a very sweet story. Thank you.

Lovely story… bittersweet…you have given Ludmila a wonderful gift of life as it is intended she live. Leo has been her big brother Angel protector. This is truly a time of thanksgiving for you Teo beautiful caring sisters, and their dog, blessing one of God’s creatures! 🌟🙏✨🧡
