 A woman has shared the heart-warming moment she surprised her Bambi-obsessed mother with a visit from an adorable fawn while she was in palliative care. 

In a post to popular Facebook group The Kindness Pandemic Lisa McDonald, from Melbourne, said she and her sister have been caring for their sick mother who has loved deer her whole life and came up with the idea for a real-life Bambi to pay a visit to her. She said she found a couple, Simone and Chris, who owned a mobile petting farm and they travelled two and a half hours with their fawn, coincidentally called Bambi, to surprise the woman.
