Gentle Giant Great Dane Mothers Fawn In Wholesome Video

Jul 11, 2020

Pippin is a wild black-tailed deer and Kate is a Great Dane on Vancouver Island, Canada. These two animals met when the deer was just a baby thanks to the dog's owner.

They bonded with each other, and five years later their friendship is stronger than ever, even though the motherly Great Dane came to become friends when the deer herself became a mother.

Soon after Pippin was born on Vancouver Island, Isobel Springett, who's a professional photographer and an equestrian, happened to find the fawn in an area close to her home. She had hoped the deer’s mother would come back to take care of her, but Pippin’s mom never returned.

After hearing the fawn cry for the next three days, Isobel decided to take it into her home, the lovely video chronicles.

Isobel placed Pippin on her Great Dane’s bed. Since her dog Kate was never a mom, Kate welcomed the opportunity to be a mother to the baby fawn lying next to her. The young animal wanted Kate to nurse her, but the dog couldn’t, even though she tried.

When Pippin was fourteen days old, she left to go back into the woods to sleep at night. The little fawn did come back to Kate each day, however.

When Pippin was six months old, she started to become more of a friend to Kate, and the two animals had fun romping around, licking each other, and rubbing faces.

Over a five year period, Pippin gave birth to seven fawns. She spends most of her time in the wild now, but every year, she comes back to Isobel’s property to give birth.

The relationship between the deer and the dog has blossomed into a forever friendship. Whenever they get together, they greet each other like they were never apart.

They no longer play because they are older now, the video says, but Pippin and Kate love to just hang out and snuggle with each other.

It’s not usual for the deer to come into the house and fall asleep on a dog bed. When she comes to visit, she will stay for several hours.
