This post is an excuse to use a cute photo. The delightful creatures you see when walking your dog are fawns; the mythological creatures you read about are fauns.
Fawn
- a deer aged under one year
- (of a deer) to produce young
- a pale brown colour
- to give a display of insincere or exaggerated flattery
- to try to please someone by a show of extreme friendliness or affection
Faun
- a being that is part human and part goat (usually in Roman mythology)
