Deer are usually elusive creatures, rarely seen up close unless you’re hiking in the woods or, unfortunately, encountering them on the road. But for Lori Jones, a store clerk in Colorado, USA, a deer decided to pay an unexpected visit inside her store one day.
The deer initially peeked around the store cautiously, showing particular interest in several items, especially the sunglasses. Lori was amazed at the deer’s calm demeanor and curious nature.
A Surprise Return
After wandering around the store for a while, the deer seemed quite at home, but Lori eventually had other tasks to attend to. Since it didn’t look like the deer was going to make a purchase, Lori decided it was time for it to go back to the forest. She gently lured the deer outside with some food, thinking that would be the end of her unusual visitor.
To Lori’s surprise, about 30 minutes later, the deer returned, this time with its entire family. Fortunately, the rest of the herd was not as brave and stayed outside, peeking in as if wondering if they could join.
An Unforgettable Experience
“It was incredibly amusing. The deer was particularly fascinated by the sunglasses,” Lori told The Dodo.
She had to kindly decline the herd’s unspoken request to come inside but made sure to give them all a good meal before sending them back to the woods where they belonged.
A Memorable Encounter
Lori’s experience highlights how sometimes nature can surprise us in the most unexpected places.
The story of her deer visitor quickly spread, captivating hearts and bringing smiles to faces around the world.
