Fairy the Fawn

Jeff Letendre encountered a fawn who was too young to be away from its mother, but there was no sign of a mother, and the fawn was very hungry. So he provided her with milk and named her Fairy. These cases are sometimes pretty sad because a baby wild animal adopted by humans often has to live in captivity for the rest of their life. But Jeff was well aware of that and kept Fairy outside and encouraged her to meet other deer once she was weaned. Fairy lucked out and met a deer family with a mother that had enough maternal instinct to let a strange fawn join the family. Now Jeff had the best of both worlds, knowing that Fairy was happy and healthy living in the woods, but coming back to see him every once in a while.
