The Odd Couple: Deer, Dog Find Friendship at German Christmas Tree Farm

Deer and dogs are not natural companions, but nobody seems to have told Carla the Labrador.

A year-and-a-half ago the canine was out walking in Germany's Black Forest when they came upon a solitary fawn. Carla licked the little deer, and shoved it gently with her nose, owner Helga Kuderer told NBC News.

"Carla immediately took up a mother role, when she found the abandoned baby stag during a hike through the forest," the 52-year-old recalled.

The two have become the best of friends.
