LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. — The chase was on when a rescue dog and a deer played a cheerful game of tag along a fence in a Florida resident's backyard this week.

TRENDING NOW:

The animals played tag for about two minutes running at full speed the entire time.

The owner of the dog, Ethan Cole, watched as his dog ran back and forth along the fence with a deer on the other side.

He said he was surprised to see the two animals playing together and, after watching for a few moments, he pulled out his phone to record the encounter.

Cole's dog, Ike, is a 2-year-old rescue who Cole said is "full of life."
