In the middle of the lake, Harley was swimming, but he wasn’t alone. At first, Ralph couldn’t tell what the creature next to him was, but as he got closer, he was amazed! Harley was swimming alongside a tiny, fragile fawn that was struggling to stay afloat.
The fawn was exhausted, gasping for breath as she fought to keep her head above water. Harley, with his innate compassion, had spotted the fawn in distress and couldn’t stand by while another living being needed help.

The fawn had been stranded in the middle of the lake, unable to reach the shore. Without Harley’s timely intervention, the situation could have ended tragically. With gentle determination, Harley swam to the struggling fawn, nuzzling her to offer comfort and reassurance.
Grateful for the unexpected lifeline, the fawn allowed Harley to guide her to the safety of the shore.

Harley, who had once brought comfort to the elderly as a certified therapy dog, had once again shown that the desire to help was deeply ingrained in his nature.
His heroic act had not only saved a young life but had touched the hearts of everyone who witnessed it.
