Canadian wildlife photographer Lee-Anne Carver has been keeping tabs on Carrot the deer for several years.
But earlier in December, she found the animal with a crossbow through his head - though he was still alive.
She told Sean Moncrieff she has known the deer since he was a fawn, and he wonders through their small community. He just meanders through the residences and pays visits to people . My husband - who is 72 - was outside and Carrot s a good friend to him, and he came in the house crying that Carrot had the bow through his head .

A friendly deer named Carrot has been making waves online after it was photographed by a wildlife photographer based in Ontario to have survived an arrow shot through the head.
On December 9, Carver was surprised to see her husband crying after finding the deer in the yard. Carrot was shot through the head with an arrow and miraculously survived the blow.
From the angle that the arrow was shot, it was likely that the deer was shot from a window or deck, which Carver thinks is malicious, similar to an act of animal cruelty.
