Get the Kleenex out for this one. We often equate small children with lambs. It's both of the tiny creature's innocence (and probably their cuteness, too) that can stir a great deal of empathy in most adults. The story of Soda Pop the lamb makes the comparison ring all the more true.
Soda Pop arrived at Edgar's Mission, an animal sanctuary, frail and unable to walk. The poor baby couldn't even stand. The workers didn't expect her to last the night, but the trooper did.
They weren't sure how to strengthen her weak body. Then, one worker came up with a brilliant idea. They cut four holds into a green shopping bag. Then, they placed Soda Pop inside. The workers would hold the handles of the shopping bag to lift Soda Pop's body up, allowing her physical support as she waddled her legs.
The video begins with day one. Soda Pop is still quite frail, but she does her best to stand on all fours. But the video ends with day seven — the most extraordinary day.
In her green shopping bag, Soda Pop bounces around. It looks as though she finally has control of her body. There was only one way to tell. Just as two parents would stand on either side of their baby, two of the staff workers stood at either end of Soda Pop.
One reached her arms out to the lamb who stood on all fours without the shopping bag, then took her first steps all by herself.
"Today, I never thought we would be celebrating her walking. I thought we would be burying her body," said the worker.
Please SHARE this amazing transformation to thank these hard workers for never giving up on Soda Pop!
