A Lethbridge, Alta., woman is warning her community about aggressive deer after a vicious attack left her dog severely injured.

Julie Deimert was on a walk with her 10-year-old dog, Henry, on Monday when she noticed a deer following them.

“My dog was running just ahead of me on his leash, but he was nervous, too,” she said.

“His ears were down and his tail was down and we were both jogging along, and all of a sudden, the deer was just right behind me. It overtook us.”

“It just wouldn’t stop coming [at us],” said Deimert.

The deer knocked Henry onto his side before standing on its hind legs. With its front hooves, it pounced onto the dog’s abdomen, breaking the skin.

Some people passing by stopped and ushered both Deimert and Henry into their vehicles.

Deimert rushed Henry to the veterinarian, where he underwent a $1,300 emergency surgery.

Fortunately, the deer’s hooves only “skinned” Henry’s stomach and didn’t puncture any organs, she said. He is expected to make a full recovery.
