He was just trying to finish harvesting his field. Then he heard a tiny sound — There, in the stubble, was a newborn fawn, impossibly small!
When you’re thinking the little deer is lucky, it is, but so is the man. What a great experience to hold a baby deer and save its life.
Arthur isn’t a sentimental man. His hands are rough from 40 years of working this land, and his mind was only on the weather report and the late harvest.

He and his wife spent hours warming her by the stove, rubbing life back into her tiny limbs, and getting a little milk into her. They weren’t sure she’d make it.
This is later in the day. The harvest is forgotten. He’s sitting in the field, and the tiny creature who was too weak to even lift her head this morning is now a hungry little thing, pulling hard on the bottle.

His rough, dirt-caked hands are surprisingly gentle, holding her steady. He’ll keep her safe and warm until the local wildlife rescue can pick her up, but for this one afternoon, he’s all she’s got.
