This report concerns two pregnant fallow deer (Dama dama) that the dead were found in the fenced property owner. The hair from the suspected Alaskan Malamute dog and from the tunnel burrowed under the fence of the pen where the deer were kept was carefully collected, preserved, stored, and transported for analysis in a forensic DNA laboratory. Morphological and histological tests as well as a comparative analysis of the hair were performed. The molecular analysis of the genetic material from the hair roots of hair collected in the tunnel and hair of the suspected dog, showed their close similarity. A comparative morphological and histological analysis of the hair from the tunnel and from the dog also demonstrated their close resemblance. The comparative morphological and histological analysis of the hair and the results of molecular analysis proved that the Alaskan Malamute had killed the fallow deer.
