One day in the 60’s my grandpa was on his way to work and saw a baby deer lying in a ditch, then noticed it still lying there, injured, on his way back home. He picked her up, put her in his truck and took her home to his two boys as their first pet. My dad and his brother took care of her and nursed her back to health, and she remained a beloved pet. This is one of my favorite photographs ever so I painted this for my dad’s birthday today! 🦌🫶🏼
