00:00 Can you handle this one?

00:01 It was truly magical.

00:02 What's going on?

00:02 It's very unusual.

00:03 Fairy!

00:05 It's something that money can't buy.

00:08 Slowly.

00:09 I'm Jeff Latham.

00:12 This is Fairy's story for Joobies.

00:13 In June last year, I just saw this little baby coming out of the wood.

00:17 I was very surprised because it was like a little dotted pond.

00:20 And there was no mom around.

00:21 So I was like, okay, the mom must be in the forest somehow.

00:28 I'm in Quebec, Canada.

00:30 I'm about an hour, 15 minute drive from Montreal.

00:32 That little thing just went back into the forest.

00:34 But I saw it again the day after.

00:37 And a couple of days and always alone.

00:40 So I just attached a bottle of milk near the bird feeder.

00:44 And I just saw that thing jumping into that bottle and starting suckling on it.

00:47 So I was like, okay, she is alone.

00:52 She needed milk to grow and she didn't have any.

00:54 Most likely Fairy's mother was hit by a car

00:56 because there's a road across the river from where I live here.

00:59 A couple of days after, I tried to hold that bottle and call her.

01:02 And actually she came.

01:03 I couldn't really touch her.

01:04 She wants more.

01:06 She was a bit shy.

01:07 She was afraid of the dogs.

01:08 She wants more.

01:09 And each day she would get more and more comfortable.

01:12 At some point, she completely trusted me.

01:14 She's like, this guy is giving me milk.

01:16 A dog, a baby pond, two love balls.

01:20 Must be my dad.

01:21 I don't know what she thought.

01:25 She would go wherever she wanted at night.

01:26 At midnight, she goes back to the forest.

01:30 And daytime, which was always not too far from the house.

01:33 I could whistle.

01:33 She would come.

01:34 Come on, little beautiful.

01:35 So the idea was always to take care of her, but let her free.

01:41 Unbelievable.

01:42 I play it tough, but if she was just late an hour or two in the morning,

01:46 I would stop worrying.

01:47 Because every time I'd get up, she'd be there already waiting outside on the land.

01:50 And she would start running towards me.

01:52 She's on fire this morning.

01:53 Like the most beautiful thing you can wake up to.

01:56 Where is she?

02:01 Where is she?

02:02 You are a big pup.

02:08 This is going to sound crazy, but she would not only come to me for milk.

02:13 She would come for love.

02:14 Whenever I work outside, she loves to be around.

02:19 It was just two different species liking each other.

02:21 I'm going to push her.

02:23 Yeah.

02:24 Hello, baby.

02:29 Hello, baby.

02:31 How are you doing?

02:32 How are you doing?

02:33 She would come in the house, but not for too long, just for a minute or two.

02:37 The door was open and I heard some hooves on the floor.

02:41 You sure you should...

02:42 That's not really Canadian.

02:44 I didn't want her to become a pet because I knew her house was a forest.

02:47 Aha.

02:47 She started learning to eat grass and eat different leaves

02:51 and learn to be a deer in the forest.

02:53 What is this?

02:54 Mushrooms.

02:56 Are you serious?

02:58 Look at that.

03:00 I was actually having a walk with her in the forest

03:06 and I would go off the trail because I didn't want other people to see her.

03:09 There's hunters around here.

03:10 So I would go right into the forest and she would follow me like a dog,

03:16 which was absolutely mind-blowing to me.

03:18 Come, baby.

03:18 Yeah, I don't want you to cross.

03:21 And she would be like, "Okay, where are we going, daddy?"

03:23 Let's go.

03:27 There you go.

03:32 She would have stayed right next to me 24 hours a day,

03:34 but unfortunately we have to work.

03:36 So I really wanted to meet animals of her kind and she did.

03:39 Hello, love.

03:42 Are you going to join your friends?

03:44 Why don't you join your friends?

03:48 She met with another mother and other two youngs.

03:51 Come on, guys. Come on.

03:52 At first, it was actually rough because the other mother had two youngs of her own.

03:56 So when she saw fairy, she saw fairy as competition.

03:59 And the mother was kicking fairy.

04:01 I actually got really surprised by it.

04:05 I said, "Why are you doing that? Why are you so mean to her?"

04:07 But then the mom also quickly linked fairy to her.

04:11 She was like, "I'm not going to do that."

04:12 And she was like, "I'm not going to do that."

04:14 And she was like, "I'm not going to do that."

04:15 And the mom also quickly linked fairy to getting food

04:18 because when fairy was there, I was there and I was giving the deer food.

04:21 So I said, "Okay, maybe she's not that much of a competition,

04:24 but she actually means food for us."

04:26 And I think it helped them bond.

04:27 I see fairy spending most of her days with them now.

04:31 After a while, they would come in the morning together,

04:33 leave together, and she's chosen her family over me.

04:36 They've been hanging out for weeks.

04:39 And when the first snowstorm, like mid-December, the four of them were gone.

04:42 And I've not seen them since December.

04:45 (whistling)

04:47 Fairy!

04:51 Where are you, cutie?
