Rescued pet deer thinks she's a dog

John Slater, of Wiltshire, England, was driving along a hill when he thought he spotted a dead deer lying in a pool of blood.

Slater, a 63-year-old widower, collected the fawn from the ground and put her into his van.

He then brought her home, where he nursed her back to health.

'Strawberry,' now three-years-old, is healthy and fits right in with Slater's two dogs, Cola and Kilo, a pony and a retired racing pigeon.
