A tiny fawn by the side of the road turned into a rescue that drew a flood of attention on TikTok.

A viral post from pnw_hi_guys, @pnw_hi_guys_, shows a young deer near a roadside as the creator speaks softly to it. In the video, the fawn drops to the ground as a car passes loudly by.

In follow-up videos, the creator places the exhausted deer in the front seat of his vehicle and drives it away. In one clip, the fawn appears to be feeling better after getting some water.

The final post shows the fawn, which the creator called Rudy, in the arms of someone at a Washington State University-affiliated wildlife rescue. The creator said the rescue will eventually release the deer back into the wild.

He wrote: “These folks said every year the fish and game bring them a handful or two of baby deer that have been separated from their mother for whatever reason, and then raise them, and slowly wean them off of human reliance and release them as a group back into the wild.”

The creator also said the fawn was orphaned and that its mother was dead.

He wrote: “This has been one of the best moments in my life. Animals bring us humans such undeserving, unconditional love and happiness. I’d do this again every time for them.”

Commenters praised him for taking the deer to a wildlife rescue.

“So awesome! You got in touch with the right people so this baby could get the help he needed. You’re a kind person,” one person wrote.

Another said: “Good human right here. Hoping for lots of good things for you. Rudy will live a great life because of your kindness.”

Some commenters joked about keeping the deer at home.

“He’d be sitting on my couch in minutes,” one wrote.

Another said, “That baby is gonna be sitting next to me on the sofa, wearing our matching jammies.”
