A goat named Mr. G was rescued from an animal hoarding situation in California.  He was taken to a wonderful sanctuary.  Although he otherwise appeared healthy, he stopped eating and functioning upon arrival at the sanctuary.  This went on for 6 days.  The rescuers were confused by Mr. G's behavior and were intent on finding out what was wrong with this otherwise nice goat.  As it turns out, Mr. G. was reacting to the separation from his friend Jellybean, a burro.   

This 3 minute video shows the value and importance of friendship.  Even though Mr. G. and Jellybean previously lived in horrible conditions, there was a wonderful thing that developed during the ordeal - a friendship built upon trust, companionship, and comfort.    

Take a few moments to view the video and then take the time to thank a friend for his or her support, friendship, and comfort.   

The Good Deed Brigade wishes everyone a Happy 2015 New Year filled with health, prosperity, and, yes, good friendships.
