Dog and deer take stroll through Iowa town before police intervene: ‘All good walks must come to an end’

In a scene out of a Disney movie, a dog and a deer were seen wandering the streets of an Iowa town together.

The adorable dynamic duo was spotted on Wednesday taking a stroll seemingly without a care through the streets of Tipton, a small town of roughly 3,000 people about 40 miles northwest of Davenport.

“Sometimes a dog just wants to take his deer for a walk,” the Tipton Police Department quipped on its Facebook page.

The post included a photo of the two pals walking along the sidewalk side-by-side. The dog, which appears to be a large golden retriever, looks back in one photo at the police officer creeping up behind them. 

The deer even looked like it might be window shopping in one picture, a user commented.

Another image shows the deer walking across a lawn towards the dog, who had stopped for a rest on the grass.

But the unlikely pair’s day out on the town ended soon afterwards. About an hour later, Tipton police posted an update with the animals loaded up in police cruisers after they were rounded up.

“All good walks must come to an end. The pair was too close to traffic,” police said.

“The dog is clearly remorseful but the deer was muttering something about breaking free and doing it all again tomorrow,” the department joked.
