SILVER SPRING, Md. -- A deer chased by two dogs crashed through a Silver Spring restaurant's window before seeking safety inside a Giant Thursday afternoon.

The three animals' dramatic entry into the Greek Village Restaurant at a shopping center in the 13400 block of New Hampshire Avenue astonished the staff.

The dogs continued their pursuit inside the restaurant until the deer exited and tried to hide inside a Giant Food store, instead. This time, the deer used the automatic door.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire, the deer was corralled in the grocery store's bakery section until a member of the Department of Natural Resources arrived to tranquilize it, but not before causing more damage and injuring a female customer.

Sadly, the deer had to be euthanized.

No word on the extent or nature of the customer's injuries or what happened to the dogs.
