When you think of a German shepherd dog the first word that comes to your mind is protective. However, Sarge, the German shepherd has proved that there’s much more to these dogs than that. Sarge’s owner is someone who rescues animals and this has unveiled the soft spot that Sarge has for other animals.

This dog has demonstrated how caring he is when it comes to all matters related to orphaned and injured fawns. The first time that a fawn was brought to the household, Sarge managed to guard and babysit the helpless creature. This German shepherd lives on a small farm in Ohio and it turns out that fawns are not the only animals that Sarge interacts with.

The farm is home to a rooster, hen, goat, horse, pony, sheep, rock doves as well as other dogs. Sarge was brought to the farm nine years ago. Cheryl Stephen, the owner, shares images of Sarge’s interactions with fawns on her Instagram profile, and here are some of the images. Hope you enjoy these heartwarming images!
