“My house is usually surrounded by deer, they sleep in my backyard, I have no fear of them ... But this deer just decided it was going to kill me and my dog.'
A West Kelowna senior was left shaken after a deer attacked her small teacup Chihuahua in her backyard Wednesday afternoon, just days after a small dog was trampled to death by a deer in a nearby park.
“Next thing I know I see the damn thing coming around the corner ... chasing my dog, going like mad and it was catching up to him,” she said. “It got close enough that it was going to trample him, because the deer started lifting its feet. And I'm screaming at it, and I thought, 'Oh my God, it's going to kill him.'
“I kept screaming: 'Chico run, Chico run!' And thank God he can run fast, because he was done, it had him turned over. I figured it was going to kill him,” Ruth said.
