For the last week or so, Hazel Grace, executive canine consultant for Lima Township, has been playing daily with Dolly, the deer.
Lima Township Supervisor Craig Maier said the 14-month-old Labrador retriever has been playing with the deer for the last week or so.
“It’s been an every day affair,” he said, adding the deer comes up to the picnic table on his property, Maier lets Hazel out to play with the frequent visitor and “away they go,” playing together.
And recently, a second doe has joined in the fun so Hazel now has two deer friends.
