      like these photographs are interesting, but then mid-2020’s internet venacular seeminly requires “so I was having a bad day then I saw this on my way to work”

      Yeah OP just grabbed a passing baby deer and set it on the dog. Definitely a more believable story.

        Deer farms are a thing, that’s likely exactly what happened. Unless you think a baby deer wandered onto this dogs legs, it was placed there.

            The doe has no concept of pronouns. I promise calling it “it” isn’t doing anything to hurt it.

            As someone who has been vegan for 25 years, I really appreciate your choices and empathize with your motivations. If, however, your goal is to make a difference, you might want to avoid alienating your audience before you’ve even said anything.

        Using “it” for an animal is perfectly reasonable. An argument can be made for using they instead but we even use it for humans occasionally (e.g. Jack checked on the baby, it was sleeping peacefully).

    If you had a Great Pyrenees (Dog pictured) - you absolutely would not be wondering. They are livestock guardian dogs and some of the most stubborn dogs you will even interact with.

    Yeah it’s getting pretty uncivil in these comments. Sorry, op, comments are getting locked.

    Cute photo though, it’s an old school meme.
