Piper and I discovered this little sweetheart hidden in the grass very close to the road along which we were walking a couple mornings ago.
It did an excellent job of staying put and hardly twitching a muscle, in spite of Piper's interest. I told Piper to leave it, took a quick picture and kept walking, so we wouldn't disturb it. I think I might need to lecture its mother about leaving her youngster quite so close to the road - there were much better places nearby to park the baby while she went to find her breakfast.
Piper remembered where it had been and took me by the same spot the next morning. Needless to say, she was disappointed the interesting and unusual creature was no longer there.

Fawns are such pretty little things, so delicate. You have Piper well-trained: not all dogs could control their curiosity as well as she did under your guidance. :^)
Hugs to ya from BetsyLee
It's a rare treat to spot a fawn. Piper is still a work in progress, far better at some things than others. I wish she would relax and relate better to other dogs, but she may never get there. And she will occasionally surprise me with a lunge after a squirrel or bunny. ;-)
Hugs right back to you!
