A stunned boyfriend had a real-life Snow White moment when he was encouraged to tap a feed bag near his girlfriend’s rural home and saw 10s of wild deer suddenly emerge from surrounding trees.
Christian became intrigued by stories his girlfriend Railey, from near Ellensburg, Washington, told of the rapport her family had built with the deer surrounding their home.
According to Railey, her mom Tina previously helped and fed a deer with a broken leg over winter, and, over time, more deer would approach and trust her.
When Tina walks outside the deer will always come to see her and even eat out of her hand, Railey, 27, said, and on March 1, Tina encouraged Christian – who was born and raised in Orange County, California – to head outside and tap a nearby bag of feed.
A curious Christian did just that, and slowly, deer after deer emerged from the trees, much to his surprise.
The stunned 29-year-old, being recorded by Railey, then sang and declared he felt like Snow White, which many others also commented when Railey shared the video online.
Railey said: “We didn’t plan it, but it just happened, and it’s been so much fun watching people connect with my boyfriend through his singing and funny commentary.
“It shows the simplest, unexpected moments can end up being the most special.
“Seeing all the baby deer was so sweet – we were so excited to see wildlife, and it’s truly amazing being able to be around such sweet animals that are so cute.
“My boyfriend’s reaction was so authentic and sweet – it definitely made me laugh.
“His family is from California, so when they saw all the deer, they were very shocked.
“They continued the Snow White joke, and people laughed at his singing.”
