'It would be like losing a child': Couple fight to keep the pet deer they saved from near death

Five years ago, a female deer was hit outside of a Michigan couple's home in Genesee County. 

The deer suddenly went into labor and gave birth to twins. One of the twins died, but the other survived. Not knowing what to do with the near-dead baby, the couple, who would like to remain anonymous, asked the responding police officer if they could try and nurse it back to health. 'Go ahead. She won't last 15 minutes but give it a try.'
