Helping a four legged friend

....cross the street. No one can tell me one can't communicate with an animal. Tonight I saw a beautiful creature get hit by a car. Deer are plentiful where I live in the suburbs. In fact, I saw this young bucks mother and sister as I drove out of my driveway. The buck of about one year broke his leg. I could tell because the bone was sticking out of his right hind leg. I stopped to call the police and didn't move so traffic wouldn't be so brazen as to scare this little creature further. Once it got into the middle of the road, I pulled up and stared at it and encouraged it to go to the other side in the grass. Yes...my heart was so wrenched with the pain and frustration this deer was under I started to talk to it. We stared at each other and I just fell in love with the look on his eyes. Yes a different type of love story. One that ended with him going to the other side flopping his body. I pulled up again next to him so he wouldn't cross another street. The police came and told me to move. Pop.
I sponstaneously screamed, though I know it was inevitable for his fate to be shot. As I drove home I cried. This deer pleaded and communicated with me to have his misery ended. When I reached to the top of my driveway his sister was there I know waiting for me.
She didn't run away...just looked at me as if to say thank you for being with her brother, then walked away. Does this sound a little crazy? Maybe so. But I would encourage anyone to take the moment today and appreciate the wonderful creation around you. You will learn much about their life and your own heart. They will teach you what you need to learn, if you let them.
