Oh deer! Man running with his dog gets chased down by a deer
Now that's not something you see every day...
Running is meant to be a freeing exercise, one that helps people clear their minds, whilst also staying fit.
And for the most part it is something that drowns your mind of the thoughts that trouble you.
But what happens when running is the cause of your troubles? We guess it depends on the circumstance...
In this case, it was a simple morning run that turned into a chase.
A video of a deer grazing on a riverbank shows a man running past with his dog on the sidewalk.
Then, the deer decides to run after the jogger and his dog.
And things get funny and also kind of scary.
The jogger continues running but now that he is being chased, he is frazzled. He tries to continue running whilst holding his dog's leash and the dog is just as confused.

I've heard of extreme training but this is a bit much. pic.twitter.com/bz9vdkx27c

The response to the video was quite hilarious, with many people comparing the deer to salespeople. Check out some of the comments:
In Port Jervis, NY there is a deer that will follow people around. If he's not getting enough attention, he'll walk up to a person and nudge them until he's pet.

There was a tuba player who used to stand on a pedestrian bridge over a river to practice. If a jogger went by, he'd suddenly run alongside them for awhile playing Eye of the Tiger on the tuba. This video has the same energy.
