: "Willie is the dog in the video. He was a stray that showed up at our home. I knew the moment that I saw him he was a diamond in the rough! My husband just thought he was ugly and wanted to take him to pound. I refused. I named him “Willie” after Willie Nelson, the Red Headed Stranger. He is the best! I began taking in orphaned fawns 2 years ago. They come in cold, hungry, and terrified. Some injured. They spend the first days in my rehab building. Willie will immediately lay down with them, lick and clean them, and sleep with them. When they go to enclosure, he visits them. This particular fawn is one of the youngest, only days old. Willie spent a week with him and, since that week in July, they have formed a special bond. Willie also loves the baby raccoons and skunks."
