Woman With Cancer Forms Close Bond With Dying Deer

Sometimes we learn the most important lessons in life from the most unexpected people or animals.

Meet Dillie

Dillie became a patient of a veterinarian named Melanie Butera.

Melanie Was Losing Hope

The veterinarian was diagnosed with cancer when she met the fawn, and little did she know that the deer would make a huge impact in her life.

Dillie’s Condition

Dillie was a blind, dying baby deer when she came to Melanie’s clinic from a deer farm.

She Got Better

The love and care that Melanie and her husband showered Dilie with helped the deer get better and recover 50% of her vision.

The Buteras Took Her In

Dille is not a wild deer and therefore could not be returned to the wild even though she’s already recovered her strength, so Melanie and her husband gladly took her in.

She’s Housebroken And Domesticated

Dillie is potty-trained, knows how to turn the lights and water faucet on, and loves eating lollipops and ice cream. She even has her own bedroom in their house in Canal Fulton, Ohio.

Getting Strength From Each Another

Melanie wrote books about her adventures with Dillie and the lessons she’s learned from her about the value of life and the love she’s found in her.
