Scar the deer will stand up for a biscuit

Someone in the Harris family holds out a biscuit to a white-tailed deer. "Do you like biscuits?" He takes it. "I would take that as a yes." more

He'll even stand up for a biscuit, which isn't something most deer will do for anybody. Out among the fall leaves, he stays right where the snacks are.

Scar waits among the fall leaves, close to the family and the biscuits.

Deer are usually shy. Most run from people the moment they feel unsafe. This one stays put, close enough to touch.

"You gonna pet him?" "Oh yeah." The family's young son reaches out, and the deer seems to like it.

Someone in the Harris family holds out a biscuit to a white-tailed deer.

His name is Scar. The family has a simple reason for it. "We named him that because he always has scars on him."

None of this makes him a pet. "He's a wild critter," one of them says. Still, he lets the boy hold him close, face to face, and neither of them moves.

The family's young son holds Scar close, and the deer stays calm.

He has found himself a pretty good spot. There are biscuits on offer here, and a family that knows him by name.
