ROSSFORD, OH -- An injured deer surprised workers at a pet store Saturday morning when it wandered into the rear of the store and laid down on the store room floor, police said.

Sergeant Todd Kitzler, Rossford Police Department, says officers were called to Pet Smart, 27161 Crossroad Parkway, after workers found the deer bleeding on the floor.  

The officers thought that they might have to euthanize the wounded deer.  However a veterinary team that works at the store decided to treat it.  The deer remained calm while the team treated its leg and gave it antibiotics.

A short time later the deer got to its feet and ran from the store into a rural area.
