They joined him while he passed David H Shepherd Park.  

Mr Wein can be heard saying: ‘Look at that parade. 

‘I better not slow down.’ 

As Mr Wein carries on running down residential streets he passes incredulous onlookers. 

He shouts: ‘It’s my parade, these are my pet deer!’

Mr Wein posted the footage on social media and said that three deer joined him for a half mile while he ran in Oak Park, keeping a pace of roughly 6.11min/mile
