You never know what might follow your dog through the doggie door. The owners of this beagle came home to find their dog’s new friend all curled up on the couch.
From the Deep Creek (Maryland) Times; Photo of the Month for July
Update: Look what followed the cat through the pet door!
(Video length: 0:26)

There is no further information about the fawn. Was it orphaned? What did the owners do with it after they discovered it?
Bobbi – I looked around for some follow-up information on this but couldn’t find any. Does anyone else know anything?
I googled this story and I read the game and wildlife told the people to return the fawm to the outdoors.They did ..and later they didn’t see it. I hope it’s safe..
3 dogs later – Thanks for the follow-up. I was wondering what happened next.
I have seen a picture of a fawn that a taxadermist made in the same position as this fawn? The dog seems to move and reposition itself but the fawn seems to stay in the same one, noise tucked in? Real story or fake? You decide.
Rob – Now that is interesting. The fawn does seem suspiciously in the same position in each photograph. I also checked Snopes, and they list it as undetermined. (Link: Snopes: Beagle and Fawn) You may be right. This one may be a hoax.
If you look closely the fawn is in two very different positions…in the first picture he/she has his/her nose tucked in quite tightly and in the 2nd picture he/she has his/her head fairly upright. After seeing the video showing that a fawn could come through the doggie door I really believe this one.
Bev – I am still undecided on this one. But the video of the fawn coming through the doggie door certainly shows it is possible. Some people are claiming the fawn in the video is actually a pet.
Note the clock. The fawn comes through the door before the cat.
The plot thickens!
Wouldn’t surprise me a bit- I had a male beagle that looked EXACTLY like this one that raised an orphaned 3 week old kitten. Our beagle cleaned, snuggled, and actually let the kitten suckle on him. Without his care, I doubt the kitten, now 12 years old, would have survived.
D. Wood – Neat story. It is amazing what God has built into some animals.
Take a good look at both pictures and notice the differences in
the doe in each one. Posed? I don’t think so as the ears are
different in each photo as are its fron’t legs. See how many differences you can find. Sure wish the person who took the photos
would let us all know what has happened for sure & not just second
hand news.
Helen – You may be right. It is hard to tell from the angle in the photographs. I also wish there were more information on this one!
