Love Knows No Bounds in the Sheep Barn

At the sheep barn at the Farm Sanctuary’s New York Shelter a sheep named Chico and a goat named Dorothy fell for each other.

Meredith Turner from the Farm Sanctuary said, "Though our sheep and goats get along fine with each other, we rarely see any particular interest between members of the two species. Dorothy and Chico weren’t rescued together, and they live in a herd of more than 100 sheep and goats. People who have not spent time caring for these animals have a hard time telling them apart, especially all the sheep. But Dorothy recognizes Chico from the other end of the barn. They seek each other out, and when they meet, they exchange adoring greetings by rubbing their heads against each other. They spend hours each day grooming, playing and snuggling together. We don’t know how it happened, but these two are obviously smitten."

Love knows no bounds indeed.
