Christmas cheer for Tinsel the deer

A "lucky" fawn found in woodland without its mother by a Labrador is recovering well and expected to live "happily ever after".

The Muntjac deer, called Tinsel, was found near Wymondham, Norfolk, by the dog, called Jess, who carried it to her owners.

After the animal was checked over by a vet she was taken to the Hillside Animal Sanctuary for ongoing care where she'll remain.
