Sara Kendrick May 8, 2022 at 2:40 PM I enjoyed reading this one and the positive ending for the deer but of course the wolves went away hungry but maybe they got food later on. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara Tom Cunningham May 8, 2022 at 2:48 PM Thank you Sara, they wouldn't have gone hungry that's for sure, but I love to see their prey get away. Tom

Jennifer Proxenos May 9, 2019 at 2:19 PM So glad the deer escaped - I love watching national geographic programmes but always hate to see a kill! Good luck in the contest Tom - I forecast a win! Hugs, Jennifer. Tom Cunningham May 9, 2019 at 3:00 PM Thank you Jennifer, I always hope they get away, I was talking to someone at a lodge in Kenya and they said people get upset when the lions come to the water hole and make a kill but that's the sad side of nature I suppose. Tom
