A Quick Brown Deer Jumps Over the Family Dog

The video doorbell at Army veteran David A. Coen‘s Kansas home captured really amusing footage of a skittish fawn quickly jumping over the family dog named Jade without breaking a stride. The little deer approached the door and then retreated just as quickly, running around the dog on the way back. Evidently, the fawn had been grazed by a slow moving car and in a panic.

Coen spoke with CBS News about this incident.

An Olathe, Kansas homeowner was surprised to find his dog had a close encounter with a deer that suddenly appeared on the family’s front porch and jumped over the elderly black Lab. …the experience – captured by their Ring security camera – took place late in December when he was home with his 2-year-old granddaughter and 91-year-old mother. …The 10-year-old Lab Jade doesn’t seem too concerned when the deer’s hooves clear her head. She just wags her tail and wanders over to sniff the trail the deer left behind.
