I would say that doe is a good mother.

Does have been known to go after people too.

Kids think fawns are cute.
A doe would kick at a kid just like she went after the dog and cat if they got too close to her fawn.

That would be a good clip to have handy if you were trying to explain why you should leave baby animals alone.

Notice that I didn't just say wild animals.
Domestic animals can become extremely protective too.
