That’s adorable. That’s also super not what happened tho.
I was there man, I was that dried leaf.
like these photographs are interesting, but then mid-2020’s internet venacular seeminly requires “so I was having a bad day then I saw this on my way to work”
Wouldn’t it have been funny if someone said
totally became
Shoutout to someone I heard saying
Yeah OP just grabbed a passing baby deer and set it on the dog. Definitely a more believable story.
Deer farms are a thing, that’s likely exactly what happened. Unless you think a baby deer wandered onto this dogs legs, it was placed there.

The doe is a being not an object.
They doe is a being not an object.
in the english language the pronouns it/its are used either for animals or inanimate objects
The doe has no concept of pronouns. I promise calling it “it” isn’t doing anything to hurt it.
As someone who has been vegan for 25 years, I really appreciate your choices and empathize with your motivations. If, however, your goal is to make a difference, you might want to avoid alienating your audience before you’ve even said anything.
Beings are also an object :)
You wouldn’t call people “it”. It’s about showing respect.
I wouldn’t, but I am calling animals it. Only in English tho, we don’t do that in my native language.
I know a few people who use it/its pronouns. While I agree that treating animals with respect is a good thing, it pronouns are not necessarily a sign of disrespect or objectification.
Well in that case that is different but usually when we say “it” that is used to refer to physical objects like book or treat. Animals being seen as property harms them.
Fuck you! You’re an it!
Touch some grass buddy.
I absolutely would.
But you would immediately jump in to correct another adult’s use of language, as if they were a child. Despite this talk of respect.
Respect is earned :)
No it is a given.
Using “it” for an animal is perfectly reasonable. An argument can be made for using they instead but we even use it for humans occasionally (e.g. Jack checked on the baby, it was sleeping peacefully).
Animals use the article ‘it’.
If you had a Great Pyrenees (Dog pictured) - you absolutely would not be wondering. They are livestock guardian dogs and some of the most stubborn dogs you will even interact with.
This dog understood the assignment.
Yeah it’s getting pretty uncivil in these comments. Sorry, op, comments are getting locked.
Cute photo though, it’s an old school meme.
