Dog rescues fawn from lake in viral video, pictures

A dog and a fawn built a dear friendship when the canine appeared to help his inter-species pal out of a lake, a viral Facebook post shows.

The dog’s owners found him swimming out in the middle of the lake behind their Virginia home on June 2, “herding” a fawn back to shoreline, Ralph Dorn said in a post shared more than 256,000 times. “I couldn’t find Harley this evening until I looked out on the lake,” Dorn said in the post, which is accompanied by pictures and short video clips.
