Suffolk County cops pulled a seemingly dead fawn out of icy waters off Fire Island yesterday — and a family of deer came up to it and licked it back to health.
Marine Bureau Officers Robert Femia and Peter Bogachunas were nearing the David Park Marina on their boat at about 1:04 p.m. when they noticed the baby deer’s head in the water about 30 yards from shore.
The cops quickly covered the fawn in several thick blankets, but it remained freezing wet and motionless — until a family of three deer came out of the woods and began to lick the baby.
