A heavy sense of urgency settled over Allan as the snowfall outside grew thicker. The mother deer still hadn’t appeared to lead her fawn to safety, and he knew he couldn’t attempt a rescue himself. Yet, the longer he waited, the greater the risk that the fawn might freeze in the bitter cold.
Allan sat by the window, the snowfall thickening into a steady white curtain outside. He felt a gnawing sense of helplessness, the urgency of the situation weighing heavily on him. Unsure of his next move, he reached for his phone and called the local animal shelter.
