A California photographer found a baby fawn curled up on a cozy welcome mat at the front door of his mother’s house.
He posted this video on YouTube after calling animal control officers, who told him the fawn was probably regaining its strength after leaving the womb, and to leave the creature alone until its mother came to take it away.
Sure enough, the doe was waiting down the road and eventually the two wandered away.
