I posted a pic of Sophie back on page 378 but I came across a couple more good ones while deleting images on my phone. They are of her with fawns. The first one is near the house, I was sitting on the porch and went to investigate when I heard her barking in the woods. The fawn was holding its own and head butting toward her when she tried to approach it. The next one was on a different part of the property, she must have heard or got scent of a fawn in high grass and was walking through it when the fawn jumped up and ran. She ran after it (and me after her), the fawn had the presence to run in the pond and Sophie doesn't like swimming and will only walk out in ankle deep water.
We walked a couple hundred yards away then sat and observed the fawn. After 15 minutes or so it walked out of the water and curled up in the weeds along the edge and we walked home. I came back about an hour and half later alone with binoculars to watch it from a distance and it wasn't long until the mother walked right to it and they both walked over in the woods.
