Fla. deputy removes Doritos bag from deer's head

[The Straight Story]

BIG PINE KEY, Fla. (AP) — A deer in the Florida Keys is breathing more easily after a deputy removed a Doritos bag from its head.

The Monroe County sheriff's deputy discovered the Key deer while on patrol late Saturday evening. Its entire head was stuck in the chips bag.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Becky Herrin says the deer allowed the deputy to remove the bag without a struggle.

Key deer are the smallest of the Virginia white-tailed deer subspecies and are endangered. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services says the deer have been threatened by development, habitat loss and hurricanes.

1. I always thought deer were selfish

never offering to share their chips with anyone else

2. This happened to our dog recently.

Poor guy can't keep away from a bag of cheese -- even an empty one. Somehow he got the whole one-quart Ziploc on his head after swiping it off the kitchen counter. He could breathe, but he came to me in quite a state.

Key Deer are beautiful. They're endangered, but you see them a lot down there.
