I love watching them play together. In order to guarantee that each animal in their care has a happy and meaningful existence,

the staff at Little Bucket’s Farm Sanctuary goes above and beyond. Susan went to a local cow sale one day hoping to rescue one animal from an uncertain end.

Susan’s attention was caught by a tiny calf that had been taken from his mother as the auction got underway.

Nobody was interested in him because of his appearance and size. Susan was moved by compassion and made the $10 payment to save the defenseless calf.

When Susan got home, she thought about leaving the calf to sleep in the kitchen because it was so cold outside.

The calf cuddled up on a soft dog bed and slept soundly and comfortably for the first time in his life.

Over the following few days, they gave him the name Bucket, and he joyfully explored the sanctuary yard as he gradually regained his strength.

He was given a jacket to keep him warm, and he soon developed a particular bond with their puppy, Colton.

At first, Bucket and Colton were about the same size, and they enjoyed playing in the yard and following each other around.

But, because of the stark disparity in size, the family started to worry about their connection as Bucket became larger. Nevertheless, Bucket recognized that their partnership required flexibility.

In order to be sure he wouldn’t unintentionally hurt his best friend during fun, he began to crouch down while interacting with Colton.

Their physical differences never interfered with their friendship; they remained loyal allies. In order to give animals the life they deserve,

the staff at Little Bucket’s Sanctuary keeps going above and beyond, and Bucket now leads a contented life with his closest friend, Colton.
