Northville Township Police Ofc. Mark Foster helped rescue an orphaned fawn recently after a resident called the department to report a seriously injured doe in their back yard. When officers first responded, neighbors reported hearing the fawn’s cries but police and neighbors were unable to locate the baby animal. After returning to the station, officers later received another call from a resident in the area who had located the fawn nearby. Foster responded and after some effort to calm the frighted animal was able to bring it into “protective custody.” Using a network of animal rescue contacts, Foster was able to facilitate the fawn’s transfer to a facility ensuring it would receive proper care.
