Tyler Graham (@ksigproductions) and his wife live in Nashville, Tennessee. Two years ago, they found a fawn in their backyard who was orphaned after her mom was in an accident. They fed her goat's milk and raised her. They named her Moose, and she became part of their family.

About six months ago, Moose left one night, and the Grahams thought that they'd never see her again. Imagine their surprise when she showed up one night as if she'd never left. Their reactions to seeing her again are just the sweetest!

Moose was spoiled with apples and berries and lots of cuddles! She's lying there like the queen she is!

Tyler shared in the caption, "Welcome home, Moose." We bet they hope she stays forever, or at least as long as she likes!

Viewers left nearly 4k comments about Moose's homecoming... people had a lot to say! We laughed when @Christi-in-the-PNW got more than 20k likes when she said, "So basically, she's home from college, eating all your food, and needing all your attention, lol!" @Dad added, "When life gets too tough, you can ALWAYS come home."

@SJ shared, "My fiancé is a deer farmer, and he said she's probably pregnant and going to have her baby any day!" @Jana Payne replied, "She looks pregnant on that left side for sure... I hope the poster makes videos of her 'hiding' her babies there while she goes foraging!"

Commenter @hollywoodjanay pointed out, "The way she walked up on the porch like she was going to ring the doorbell is sending me, lol!" @MAYLIN090 replied, "And she basically hugged him back so sweet!!!!!!"

@H&R Blocked commented, "She said, I'm baaaack!" @Dorothy_JuneFlorals replied to them with, "Can they claim her on their taxes as a dependent? Lol!"

We'll definitely be following along to see if Moose has babies!
