In Australia, the folks at Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary have given second chances to farm animals who would otherwise likely end up on a plate for over a decade now. The nonprofit facility houses over 250 pigs, goats, cows, and any other critter in need of a roof over their head. The name comes from their first-ever rescue, of a sweet cutie known as Edgar Alan Pig. Though he has passed on after living a long, happy life, they continue their amazing mission that all started with him. They not only rescue and rehabilitate animals in need, but educate the public as advocates for a more humane treatment for the beautiful creatures.
When they met the cutie in the video below, they had no idea what caused him to be blind and alone in the world. The elderly sheep, named 64 after the Beatles' "When I'm 64" given that would be his age in human years, would not have lasted long if they hadn't come into his life. They cater to his special needs by keeping his water and food bowls in the exact same spot of his stall every day. He was also graciously provided with a helpful "halo vest" from the crew at Halos for Paws.
Outside of the barn, 64 relies on his friend Annabelle to guide him with the snazzy bell she sports around her neck. The precious duo are like two peas in a pod as they frolic around the yard together! It's so amazing to see the power of friendship in all walks of life.
Take a look at the video to see the buddies in action. And don't forget to SHARE with your own pals!
