There’s no doubt that companion animals are capable of transforming lives for the better,
especially for elderly people. They give the elderly a reason to get out of the house and go for a walk, they provide them with the responsibility of caring for another living creature, and of course, they are always there for snuggles when they need them most! Even just having a furry friend visit for one day can have great benefits for the elderly. After all, haven’t you ever had a bad day that instantly got a little better when you stumbled upon a pup on the street and took a moment to crouch down and pet them?
The folks over at Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary took this concept and recently made it a reality for the residents of Vasey House Aged Care in Bundoora, Australia. The plan was simple. Sanctuary workers were to bring the three baby goats, Daisy, Marigold, and Eddie, as well as Timmy the sheep and let the group be their adorable selves. Did it work? Well, we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
Like many others, the residents were immediately taken aback by the overwhelming cuteness of the sweater-clad baby goats.
