Not a particularly good pic.
When I took this pic I didn't see the Rottweiler on the other side of the yard, staring at that deer with drool running out the corner of his gaping maw. When I started easing away, that triggered the deer to move, which triggered the dog into launch mode (that's when I saw the dog). I thought shit was about to get real, and was trying to decide whether to get the camera into video mode, when the deer turned on the dog after about five running steps. The dog got within ten or twelve feet and made a looping jump and turned 180 degrees in the air and ran away from the deer, tongue lolling out of his mouth. He was
playing w/the deer.
When I looked to see the deer's reaction, it was g-o-n-e
gone. Nowhere in sight.
