Deer Shows Up At House Desperate For Help And When They See His Antlers They Dial 911

Apr 11, 2019 by apost team

A dog in distress is not unusual for a policeman, but this time, it was different. Officer Kevin Zieschang received a call about a young buck that was spotted in a backyard tied to a tree. No one lived at the home because it is still under construction.

The construction workers and the officer freed the deer, but he noticed that the deer wasn't an ordinary buck. The officer expected the buck to run away the second he was freed, but he didn't do that. Apparently, the buck was so grateful to the police officer and the workers that he looked for a way to repay them for their kindness.

The workers gave the deer a friendly scratch on the ears. In the video, you could hear them say, "He's just hanging around, man!"

They don't know how the buck came to be tied to the tree, but he became so accustomed to being around humans that he wanted to stay with them. The men gave him the name "Uncle Buck." This deer was walking right up to people and nuzzling with them, and he even licked their hands as domesticated animals do.

The next day, the local news crew came to see the deer to do a story on him, and Uncle Buck continued to be his usual, comfortable self with the crew. He even treated them to a show.

While Officer Zieschang was being interviewed by the television crew, the commentator said, "So, Officer Zieschang is out here with the news media talking about the deer that was tied up yesterday, and during the news conference, the deer showed up again."

The police didn't believe that the deer was a pet, but they issued a warning against shooting him if he finds his way into anybody's yard. They thought that the deer might try to return to the home under construction, so they called Lone Star Animal Control and the Texas Game Warden to take charge of the animal.

The authorities sedated the deer and transported him to a sanctuary. The police department's official Facebook page read, "He is safe and protected in his new home."
