Photo: Three dogs stand guard for fawn caught in Idaho wildfire

KAMIAH, Idaho (KBOI) -- Boise resident Louis Armstrong made the trip up north to Kamiah earlier this week to check on his family's property.

Thankfully, the Armstrong home had been saved from wildfire, but much of the property had burned. When he continued his tour of the area to his family's tree farm Monday morning, he spotted three of his neighbor's dogs laying on the ground.

Just a few feet away was a dead fawn. And the dogs weren't moving.

"They were definitely trying to protect it," Armstrong said. "I thought it was pretty amazing."

outside of atlanta. there's a deer crossing close to her home. every day when the deer cross her dog barks. a few months ago a deer was hit by a car. driver didn't even stop. it took a few days for the body to be removed. the whole time the deer was there her dog did not bark at the passing deer. she was showing respect.

i love animals.
