美國一戶人家前往弗吉尼亞度假，母親正在屋內準備返程時，4歲的兒子突然帶回了一位“客人”，這讓母親驚嘆不已。

Stephanie Brown from Massanutten, Virginia got a huge surprise from her son when her four-year-old son Dominic headed out and brought back a baby deer with him which he'd befriended in the nearby woods on the porch during a family vacation to their Massanutten retreat in Virginia.

The mother managed to take a snap of the unique moment and shared it on Facebook,where it immediately went viral. People were fascinated by how at ease the deer looked in the presence of the four-year-old. Stephanie explained that the family had been preparing to leave the Massanutten retreat and head back home when her son showed up with his new friend. As she was shocked, she began taking pictures of the partners.

The photo was shared on Facebook and has now gathered more than 16,000 likes and about 20,000 shares, which shows Dominic in his Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer pyjamas, wearing winter boots next to the baby deer on the porch of the holiday rental. The pair seemed utterly at ease with one another, and the fawn didn't seem in a rush to head back to the woods as he peered curiously at Stephanie.

Dominic named his new buddy Flash after the DC Comics superhero, and when the impromptu (即興的) photo shoot was over, she said that she asked her son to walk his friend back to the woods so it could be found by its mother.Clearly, the deer had a peaceful relationship with the young lad, with trust and innocence, and the picture is absolutely delightful.
