Foals are comforted by a sympathetic dog. It was only a few days after his birth that his mother passed away. There had never been a dog that showed such compassion for an animal before, so everyone on the farm was shocked by the bond between this dog and foal.
Zipper has lived on the family farm since he was a puppy. Zipper has never been the friendliest dog when it comes to caring for animals. In contrast, Zipper surprised everyone a few months ago by revealing that he is the sweetest dog you’ve ever met.
‘We consistently grow foals,’ Zipper’s owner noted, ‘and he would sneak out the door and stare at them.’ That evening, however, he stayed with me in the barn all night, watching the foal lying in the lane.’
Zipper felt something wasn’t quite right that night. They were shocked to see Zipper sleeping with his partner every night.
It was the dog who encouraged the foal to keep communicating as she grew and became an adult horse.
