This is the cute moment a little girl from London in Canada befriended a wild deer during a visit to the local cemetery.

"After my daughter's paediatrician appointment we always go through Woodland Cemetery to visit my grandpa," said the girl's mum.

"To her surprise, one of the deer began to approach her. Startled at first she moved away but then decided to stop and see what the deer was up to. With an empty hand out to say hi, the deer gave her a sniff and a lick before going on its way," she added.

The touching scene was filmed on December 7.
