Liz Royer, 58, of Kimberley, British Columbia, found herself in a fight with a deer this month while out jogging.

Liz was running with her Australian shepherd dog on a leash. She says her dog did not provoke the deer attack. The two were simply running together when the deer ran out of a bushy area and charged at them.

Her dog was equally surprised by the attacking deer and stayed back barking while his owner received body blows from the deer’s hooves.

Liz said the deer tore her open with deep gashes, ripped her muscles and left her with heavy bruises on her hips, legs, back and arms.

She could see that the deer was holding a fawn and experts believe that was the reason for the attack: the mother deer was simply trying to protect her young.

Liz is expected to recover slowly, but she is now very nervous about going for a run during fawn season.
