From Dogs and Cats to a Pet Deer

The Butera's in Canal Fulton, Ohio make headlines with none other than their pet DEER. These creatures that are mostly viewed as hunting trophies and roadside hazards have now made their way into domestication. Just a few months old, the baby deer was brought to Melanie Butera, who is a vet, because the baby fawn was suffering from sever eyesight problems and extreme malnutrition. She decided it fitting to bring the deer home with her and personally nurse it back to health. However, her plan of temporarily nursing the deer was thwarted when she and her family fell in love with the deer and the deer fell in love with them. Once the deer was fully healthy again they just could not part from each other. Now the deer lives with them just as any cat, dog, or any other household pet would. I present you with Dilly.
