The vet joined Allan in contacting the local animal shelter, and together they arranged for the baby deer to be moved to a wildlife sanctuary once it had fully healed. The vet assured Allan that the sanctuary would provide the care and freedom the deer needed to thrive in the wild.
As the baby deer regained its strength, Allan felt the bittersweet weight of saying goodbye. Their time together had been brief, but it had left a lasting impact. He watched the fawn grow stronger, knowing it would soon return to a life meant for the wild.
