00:00This hilarious goat is using her donkey BFF as a literal step stool to get a snack.
00:06Amber has figured out that if she hops onto Dolly's back, she can reach her absolute
00:11favorite snack, maple leaves.
00:14And somehow, Dolly is totally cool with it and happily offers her back as a stepladder.
00:19Hi Amber, hi Bunny, hi Butterstock.
00:23When we purchased the farm, we asked if we could actually keep all of the animals here.
00:29Dolly herself is in her late 20s.
00:31Aw, who taught you how to chew so cute?
00:34Those goats have been with Dolly since day one and they truly are her family members.
00:40Dolly has this profound need to nurture the animals around her.
00:45And there's one goat in particular who Dolly has an extra special relationship with.
00:51Dolly is so gentle with Amber.
00:55Apparently, these two have always had a bond.
00:57But they had no idea what was about to happen next.
01:01One summer day, all of a sudden, Amber had hopped up onto Dolly's back so seamlessly,
01:07like they had done it a hundred times before.
01:09And Dolly led Amber to the leaves so that she could eat.
01:12And it was just such a beautiful and symbiotic relationship and truly so selfless.
01:18I think the most wonderful thing about this relationship is that there's so much love
01:22and respect exchanged without any words.
01:25And Dolly doesn't just do this for Amber.
01:27She's basically the unofficial mom of the whole farm.
01:31She guards that field with her life.
01:34If she senses that there are any predators or any risk,
01:38she alerts absolutely all of the animals.
01:41She just has the most wonderful spirit.
01:43You are so cute.
01:45You are just so cute, Dolly.
01:47Can I offer you a parrot?
01:50Seeing this level of empathy and connection between animals is just so inspiring.
01:55Send this to someone who needs a pick-me-up because these two are just perfect.
