It is important to help each other. Most people try to help people who need their help. For example, if you see a grandmother carrying heavy bags, you will help her carry the bags. If you see a blind person who is lost on the street, you will also help him or her find their way home. But do you think animals help each other, too? To our surprise, the answer is YES! Here¡¯s a heart-warming story of a horse that gets help from her animal friends.

A 15-year-old blind horse that lives in an animal rescue facility in Montana, U.S. is leading a happy life thanks to the help of her other animal friends. The white mare is called ¡°Sissy¡± and she lives with 200 other animals at the animal shelter. The animals living there include flightless ducks, abused alpacas, clawless cats, and homeless llamas.

The sightless quarter horse is always accompanied by a company of goats and sheep that guide and protect her throughout the day. Her animal friends provide guidance for her by directing her to the feeding area, showing her where to drink, and leading her into the stalls during cold or rainy weather.

Michelle Feldstein and her husband Al run the 300-acre shelter, north of Yellowstone National Park. Thanks to their love and support, the animals there lead happy, healthy, and peaceful lives. The couple feed the animals, treat them when they are sick, and keep their animal friends warm during the winter. They also have a guesthouse for people and all their profits go to running the animal facility.

Let¡¯s hope that Sissy, the horse, and her sheep and goat friends live a long and happy life together!
