Diego is a young boy who loves animals and adventure. In season 4 episode 7 of Go, Diego, Go!, entitled "Alicia and Whitetail to the Rescue", Diego and his friend Alicia venture out into the wilderness to save a white-tailed deer. Upon arriving at the scene, they discover that the deer has been injured and is unable to walk. With the help of his trusty Rescue Pack and Alicia's knowledge of animal medicine, Diego sets out to help the deer.
As they journey through the forest, Alicia teaches Diego about the different plants that can be used for medicinal purposes. They come across a patch of yarrow, which Alicia explains can be used to reduce inflammation. They also come across a plant called comfrey, which can be used to soothe and heal wounds. With these herbs in their possession, Diego and Alicia are ready to help the injured deer.
As they approach the deer, they notice that she is very anxious and is making a lot of noise. Alicia tells Diego that this is because the deer is a mother, and her fawn is somewhere nearby. They quickly realize that they need to find the fawn and bring it to the injured mother so that she can feel more at ease. Using their keen senses and tracking skills, they soon locate the fawn and bring it back to its mother.
With the fawn by its mother's side, the injured deer is noticeably more calm. Together, Diego and Alicia tend to her wounds and use the herbs they collected to help speed up the healing process. As they work, the mother and fawn watch them closely, as if appreciating their efforts.
Once the deer is stable enough to stand, Diego and Alicia help her to her feet. The mother and fawn then walk off into the forest together, leaving behind two young adventurers who have just saved their lives.
Throughout the episode, viewers are not only entertained but also educated about the importance of animal rescue and conservation.
