Animal friends carve out a life among the dead in KC cemetery (Kansas City Star)
Elmwood Cemetery (Wiki)

much more at the linkElla, the deer that lives alone among the tombs and gravestones in Kansas Citys historic Elmwood Cemetery, has found a companion.
The doe that was born in the cemetery and then lost her mother to traffic has befriended an injured dog that is believed to have been dumped by its owners at the burial ground.

Theyve just been hanging out together, said Elmwood trustee Bruce Mathews. Theyll lie down together.

Ellas our mascot, and she apparently has got a friend in this dog, and she enjoys the company, said John Weilert. But Ellas a deer, and the dog is not going to be able to handle the winter conditions the way she can.
---
In the meantime, volunteers leave food and water out for the dog, which is not aggressive but is apprehensive of people. It runs away on three legs when approached.
---
Weilert and other friends of Elmwood say the best outcome would be for a shelter to take the dog and try to find it a good home. They are working on that.
