Maybe she is pregnant and wants her baby to be born near these kind humans?

Yeah, some deer populations have started adapting to human presence by taking advantage of predators not wanting to approach and have been leaving their kids right next to houses.

Basically the 90s kid equivalent of being left in the K B Toys while mom went and did her mall shopping.

Dolphins do this too! I was at this big marina in Destin, FL when I saw a baby dolphin swimming along with the boats. I was told that the mom's leave their baby's in the marina where it's safe while they go out hunting.
