The Horse and the Don Wonderful animal bond on Van Schaick Island
Mr Adams of Van Schaick Island New York owns a bay horse and a black Newfoundland dog bound in a remarkable friendship. They are inseparable, sharing stable and pasture. The dog guards the horse, calms it with grooming, and both mutually defend each other. The pair exhibit affectionate quirks yet occasional rough play. The owner ponders the sorrow if one dies before the other.
