RESCUE REINDEER MAKES FULL RECOVERY


I rescued this reindeer last year. He didn't even have the strength to stand when we found him, and had the worst case of fly strike i've ever seen in a deer. After weeks of daily care and attention, then a whole year of training he's now back to full strength and ready to go out on shows. I'm so proud of him. :) Nath
