An Ohio woman says she feels like a 'prisoner' in her home because a deer has been attacking her outside. 

Cindy Frost said that she's called police about the doe and asked for assistance in walking her dogs near her suburban Cleveland home located in Mentor-on-the-Lake. 

'I feel like I'm a prisoner,' she told WJW. ' I can't take my dogs out for a walk. 

'I can't even walk down to the end of my property and when I go to my car I'm looking all around.'

She said the deer charged her last week while she was taking her dogs out. 

During the incident, Frost said that she had to fight the doe off with a dog leash and her fist, and tried to zigzag back and forth. 

'She came right after me,' she told WJW. ' What saved me was my black top.  She couldn't get her grip, that's the only thing that saved me.' 

Luckily, the deer slipped on the black top allowing her to safely return inside, but the deer then circled her home. 

Frost said the doe's fawn lives in her backyard and she noticed them on her property about two weeks ago.

Last year, the what is believed to be the same deer killed her neighbor's Golden Retriever last year. 

State wildlife officials say there's not much they can do, and that such encounters are likely quite common. 

Experts with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife told her that does can 'become aggressive near their fawns but rarely attack.' 

They claim the deer should move on in a few weeks. 

However, if the animal's behavior continues to be aggressive, both the mother and baby could be euthanize, according to WJW. 

'I don't want that.  I'm an animal lover,' Frost said.
