It made me cry. It is so wonderful of people to do this for the goat Mr. G, and his buddy, the burro Jellybean.

Story here, h/t Baitball Blogger: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/features/blogs/gone-viral/os-goat-best-friend-20140528,0,2919331.post

A rescued goat refused to eat and sunk into a deep depression for six days leaving his caretakers baffled, until they realized he was just missing his best friend.

Animal Place sanctuary in California rescued Mr. G earlier this month from the hoarder he'd lived with his whole life. For the past 10 years, he'd spent all his time there in a cramped space with a burro named Jellybean.

At the time of their rescue, the sanctuary couldn't take in both the goat and the burro so they had to be separated. Upon his arrival Mr. G's depression became obvious when he refused to eat or leave his stall for six days, despite being healthy.

Volunteers at Animal Place knew the best buds needed to be together again, so they drove a total of 14 hours to bring Jellybean back to her pal.

...and it is such a sweet story.

Did you see the one about the 3 baby bears rescued from a dumpster? Equally delightful.
