Stranded on the Shoulder
The fawn collapsed onto the gravel, its rear leg twitching against the harsh pavement.
Cars sped past on the two-lane highway, kicking up dust just inches from the young animal’s body.
Unable to stand, the spotted fawn raised its neck toward the sky and let out a sharp cry.
A Calming Presence
A white SUV pulled onto the shoulder a few yards ahead, its brake lights illuminating the dust.
A man stepped out, dropped his shoulders, and walked at a slow, deliberate pace toward the gravel margin.
He knelt beside the deer, placing his palm gently against its side until its breathing slowed.
Care on the Roadside
Inspecting the animal’s leg, he pulled a treatment spray and coated the wounded skin.
He unrolled a white bandage, wrapping it firmly around the fracture to stabilize the joint.
The fawn remained still, resting its neck against his knee as the binding was secured.
Refreshing Relief
The man reached into his vehicle and brought out a clear container filled with water.
He tilted the rim toward the fawn’s muzzle, holding it steady while the animal drank.
Vehicles continued to hum past as he stroked the animal’s coat beside the open plastic tub.
