Dog Runs Away From Home Only To Be Found On A Trail Camera Wandering In The Woods With A Wild Deer
One of the worst feelings in the world is having your beloved pet run away. You’ve no idea where they are, what they are up to, whether they’re okay or need help. Rachel Howatt is well familiar with this feeling.
Last December, Rachel’s husky Koda got loose and ran away. She searched the woods nearby to her house but to no avail. Then eventually, after a couple of days, Koda came back to her house in Manitoba, Canada as if nothing had happened. But as cameras later revealed, she was up to an adventure.

“We definitely searched for her, but in the end, she just came back. She is really smart, so I didn’t doubt she could find her way home,” Koda’s owner later told the media. Fortunately, the husky came back well and alive. However, several days after Koda had returned, her owner decided to check with her neighbor. Apparently, the neighbor had a trail camera in the woods by their home, so she decided to check with them to see if Koda had been spotted.

As it turned out – they did

Not only did the cameras pick up Koda, but they also picked up her new, unlikely friend – a male deer. The buck can be seen huddling up next to the husky, as well as eating and napping with her. For the entire evening, Koda can be seen playing and just spending time next to the buck who didn’t seem bothered by her presence at all.
But Koda wasn’t alone

“It was quite something,” Rachel told the media. “Based on the time they spent on the frame, it looked like they spent over 12 hours together. There’s also another photo where there’s two bucks in the picture with her.”

Wow, that seems incredibly unlikely. You would think the deer would be more concerned about the wolf shaped animal that probably smells like humans.
Maybe they’ve actually known each other since they were fawn and puppy.

Wow, what a unlikely pair. I'd love to see an animated movie or a children's book about them going on adventures
But they did go on adventures :) I wonder if maybe your kids would like stories that you make up about these 2 animals. Maybe you could invent one per week and show them this article and then tell them stories about them. that way they will associate real life with wonder rather than them thinking that only wonder comes from disney. Worth a try.
Load More Replies... I have friends who live on a private canyon in Pacific Palisades. They were walking their bassett and they saw a young deer up the road. Their dog ran up to the deer and they began to play. They chased each other, sniffed each other and the deer left. Several years later, they again saw a deer. Their bassett approached it. They sniffed each other, stared for a moment, and began to play, just like years before. Sadly, their dog has died, but left beautiful memories.
I came home one day to find my cat in the garden sat side by side with a mouse, just hanging out. When I approached, the mouse moved under the cats belly for protection, then they strolled off together, to a quieter spot.
Disney has a huuuge opening here for a movie that, for once, they CAN say is "based on a true story".
"I don't care we are of different species, my love is bigger than all genes in the world." "Koda, you are a dog, and I'm a deer. It won't work. We can play for today, but that's it." "Then.. then... then let's play all day and night, I want plentiful of happy memories. With you." "And stop peeing on my food." "Ops."
I loved the story~& the pics are great!! Not to mention, it's probably a very uncommon thing, but what do I know?? (still nice)~
Did they bother to check the cameras when the dog was actually missing?
This is kinda surprising. I would have expected the deer to run from what appears to be a predator. Oh, well, it's not the first time I've been wrong about something.
