WADENA, MINNESOTA— Customers in a Minnesota Walmart got a wild surprise after noticing a deer in one of the aisles perusing the merchandise.
WDAY reports that the young buck was likely hunting for a snack when it walked up to the garden center outside, and strolled right into the store’s motion-activated doors.
Tom Grasswick had been deciding on dog dishes when he felt something bump into him. He looked down and found a deer, right in the pet aisle.
Grasswick quickly moved to subdue the hundred-pound animal, pinning it down near a bag of dog food.
The deer whisperer then covered the animal’s eyes to keep it from resisting. Once it had calmed down, he and a few others set it free outside.
Neither Grasswick nor the confused deer was hurt in the incident. Walmart, meanwhile, will likely be making changes to their garden center door.
