A nonprofit in Oxfordshire, England, is helping adults and children who are struggling with life's challenges by offering them time with dog-like Valais Blacknose sheep — and the service is mobile.
"We can go to people’s houses and help those struggling with loneliness and isolation," said Redman, according to SWNS, the British news service. Valais Blacknose sheep are known for their dog-like temperament. "We can go to people’s houses and help those struggling with loneliness and isolation." "If we can make difference in a few people's lives, then it’s a success." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
While the pair started their service with just one sheep, today they have a flock of seven sheep and two goats to help people who find life challenging.
