Fawn found meandering around Parker
KenCanning
Police officers in Parker found a fawn wandering around after responding to a call about the animal crying in a resident’s garage.
According to a Facebook post on Saturday from the Parker Police Department, officers found the fawn “calmly wandering around before curling up for a quick nap under a patrol car.”
After the fawn was finished napping, it moved to some nearby trees, the Parker Police Department says. The police also say they are hopeful the deer will reunite with its mother.
Find photos of the deer here.
