There's a time to duck and cover, of course. But there's also a time to say "Screw it" and fight the good fight -- especially if you're protecting someone you love.

Sixty-one-year old Silver Star, Mont., resident Carol Lince chose the latter on Monday morning, when she found a large doe "ramming" her pet poodle, Little Fighter, into the ground. (Sadly ironic name for the dog, ahem.)

When she attempted to defend the dog by kicking the deer in the legs, the doe turned on her. After the deer head-butted her into a fence, she punched it in the head repeatedly. Eventually, her jabs sent the animal running.

We've always thought of wild deer as soft and cuddly, like Bambi. Apparently we were wrong. We're not sure what beef the unnamed doe had with Little Fighter, but we'd like to warn her that size doesn't always matter when it comes to battles in the animal kingdom.
