"Sissy," a blind 15-year-old horse, is always accompanied by an entourage of five goats and five sheep who guide her to food and water and into her stall, even in blizzards or driving rain. Michelle Feldstein, who runs an animal rescue shelter in Montana, told Reuters.

"They round her up at feeding time and then move aside to make sure she gets to the hay." She marvels at the blind mare and her barnyard attendants.

"There's a magic involved in sheep, goats and a horse becoming best friends," she said. "When you watch them, you have to wonder, why can't people do that?"

“导盲羊群”护盲马

       据路透社报道，美国蒙大拿州一个动物救护站里有一匹15岁的夸特马“茜茜”，她虽然双目失明，但是由五只山羊和五只绵羊组成的“护花团队”对她呵护有加。羊群一路相伴，会指引她喝水“吃饭”，还会将她送回棚圈，甚至雨雪天气也不例外。

       经营此动物救护站的米歇尔•费尔德斯坦说：“喂饲料时，羊群会围在‘茜茜’旁边，确保她吃上饲料后才退到边上。”

       她对羊群护盲马的事很是惊叹，她说：“山羊、绵羊能和一匹盲马成为好朋友，这很神奇。当你看到它们的时候，你一定会想，为什么人不能这么做呢？”
