A new born lamb who was abandoned by his mum on Sunday was adopted in minutes by a kind old goat at a rescue centre in scenes which melted the hearts of volunteers.
The lamb, just hours old, was brought in a bucket to Coolronan Dog Rescue in Ballivor, Co. Meath by a local farmer, desperate to try and find help for the animal.
Although usually dealing solely with dogs, Chris Kelly and Ramona Cunningham immediately set about getting colostrum for the lamb before bringing him to the My Lovely Horse Rescue in Kildare where an unexpected new mother was found in the form of an old goat.
