Vet takes deer in as pet

9 years ago when Dilly the deer was dying and a vet nursed it back to health, she couldn't help but take it in as one of her own. "Dilly" has her own room and even has her own boyfriend! Her boyfriend is a goat that lives in Florida and her owners call it a "long distance relationship"... between a deer and a goat. She's an indoor pet and walks around the house, helps clean, and other house chores just like the owners. She even has her own website. What would you do if you had a pet deer? I think this is a little weird and creepy.. What do you think about this?

  • I think that's cool. it's probably too domesticated now to go back to the wild. probably just get hit by a car again if it leaves.

  • I think it would be weird having a deer as a pet but at least it got a home! I think its sweet how she is taken care of and acts like any other pet.

  • That is so cool, i wish i could have a pet deer!  Just so it could help me clean. 

  • That sounds like it would be funny! Having a pet deer would be cool!

  • Well people have done stranger things, but personally think it would be cool to have a pet deer :). I wonder how you would go about training a deer to do house chores.

  • I think this is really cool, especially being in the house and keeping clean! i cannot imagine how neat and different it would be to have a pet deer.

  • What I thinks is cool is that the vet successfully domesticated the deer. I would think the deer would be rampant and destroy things.

  • I guess if it was tame and didn't destroy anything it would be okay. The boyfriend part is stupid there is no reason to.

  • Is it legal to have a deer as a pet? That's a wild animal!
