This evening the doorbell rang and it was a guy telling us he had hit a deer and ended up in our driveway with the deer still under the car. He had already called the police. We went out there and the poor deer was alive. I could see blood running out from under the car. It was a young deer...I have seen this deer with it's mother and a sibling quite a few times...even though we live in the city. My hubby told the guy to roll his car back and he'd hold onto the deer to see if we could get him out from under the car. That worked and the deer, at first, just laid there, but then started thrashing around and finally stood up. It had a broken back leg, and acted like he was going to fall, but then got his bearings and headed across the street. We saw him go under an evergreen tree in the back yard of the neighbors across the street. It took the police over half an hour to get here and he went with his flashlight, but couldn't see the deer. I feel so bad thinking of that deer out in the cold and hurting. I'm hoping his mother and sibling will cuddle up and keep him warm and I pray he isn't suffering terribly and will survive. The blood was coming from his leg and probably his tail, because his poor tail was in the street. I did take some pictures to email the guy that hit the deer, but I won't post them as it might make some of you sad to see. Please say a prayer for that poor deer.
