It’s always a surprise what you might find on a trail camera. It’s common to see deer, raccoons, and even coyotes. But sometimes, you might come across something truly unique, like these heartwarming pictures of a husky and a buck becoming friends.
This story began last December when Rachel Howatt’s husky named Koda ran away from their home in Manitoba, Canada. Rachel searched everywhere for Koda, including the woods near their home, but couldn’t find her anywhere.
Rachel was worried sick about her dog and hoped she would be able to find her unharmed. After a couple of days, much to Rachel’s great relief, Koda returned home seemingly happy and healthy.
Rachel said, “I looked for her everywhere, but in the end, she just came back herself. She’s very smart, so I didn’t doubt that she could find her way home.”
Although Rachel was happy to have Koda safely home, she couldn’t stop wondering what her dog had been up to while she was missing. After a few days, she asked her neighbor to look at their game camera footage to see if it captured any images of Koda.

As it turned out, the camera did take pictures of Koda starting from the first day she ran away from home. The images also painted an amazing picture of why Koda didn’t return home right away.
It seems that Koda was busy making friends with a male deer she met in the woods! The pair is clearly seen sniffing each other, eating, and even showed the husky curled up sleeping with the watchful buck by her side.
The pair is incredibly endearing, and it makes you wonder what brought about their improbable bond, considering that big feral canines are a typical threat to deer. Yet, there they stand, evidently fearless and relishing each other’s companionship. What a lovely pair of friends they make!
Please spread the word about this remarkable tale of an improbable friendship with your loved ones and acquaintances.
