In The Limelight

It’s not every day that people get to see a dog rescuing a deer. The story had the potential to attract the audiences and the fact was well received and acknowledged by the media. It wasn’t long after the video went viral and a dozen of TV channels and the local newspapers in New York contacted Mark and his dog Storm to hear the tale of the brave character they had displayed while rescuing the baby deer. The duo went on to feature in a couple of morning shows, and they certainly loved the limelight they were getting. Who wouldn’t?

A Proud Owner

I would go bonkers if my dog did anything in the likes of what Storm had done to save the fawn. Mark is no exception when it comes to praising his pet’s heroic stunt. Mark is proud of Storm and he never misses a chance to say it out loud. “It was so touching,” Mark said. “It showed he really had a care and was worried about the fawn.” Not only Mark, but we are also proud of Storm for what he did. If it wasn’t for his efforts the poor fawn’s struggle would go unnoticed and he would have met his end.

Credit To The Rescuers

No credit is to be taken away from Storm for what he had done. However, it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the rescuers given that the fawn rushed back into the water for the second time and it was Frankie who at the cost of a knee injury dived right in to protect the baby deer. “It was an amazing group effort today,” the Strong Island Animal Rescue League wrote. “Thank you, Mark, Storm, Frankie, Erica and everyone at STAR who all played an amazing part in saving a life today.”

A Lot To Learn

It was a sight to behold, the way that Storm dealt with the fawn. It was as if a mother was holding her puppy. Storm grabbed the fawn by the neck so as to get her to a safer place despite the fact that it was not her puppy, it wasn’t even a dog for that matter. “I think we could all learn something from Storm,” Floridia said. “If we just learn to treat each other nicely and look out for each other, despite our differences, the world would be a better place.”

A Collective Effort

Everyone did their best on their part. Floridia and his buddy Erica Kutzing had to sprint a mile, more or less, on the beach to rescue the fawn. “I don’t think I could’ve done it without the help of my partner. There came a point when Floridia blew his knee out and collapsed on the ground, it was when his partner Kutzin rescued the deer to their van and drove to the local animal rehabilitation center where he’s getting proper medical care. We wish the little baby deer a speedy recovery.
