Cool shot of dog and deer. Is there a story there? The deer doesn't
look too concerned.

We had similar happenings when we were using the radio fence in Chopper.
The deer get used to the fact that the dog will or can only go so fae,
and since most communities now have strict orinances about loose dogs,
deer are losing their inate fear of them.
Actually, you'd be surprised at what some animals will do. My brother
had a small farm with some chickens and sheep, 3 dogs, and five cats.
One dog named "Big", a big playful ball of fur who looked like a mix of
black lab and something really hairy would run out into the yard and
play with the deer. They would chase him around the yard for awhile, and
then he would chase them for awhile. When they got tired, they would lay
down together. But Big hated sheep.
One of his cats (whose name I forgot) would go hang out with wild
turkeys he found in the woods. Once in awhile as long as the dogs were
in the house he would lead them down into the yard like a gaggle of
geese and he was their mother. That same cat would kill squirrels and
leave them on the deck.
