The Worth of a Teddy Bear


Breeze and Buttons


    Hours after his birth, Breeze was found stumbling around by a farmer.  The new-born foal had been abandoned by his mother so the farmer took him to the Devon-based Mare and Foal Sanctuary where they cared for him. What happened next is  heart-warming.  

 
One of the staff put a four-foot giant Teddy Bear called Buttons  into the stall with Breeze.  The foal was instantly attracted to him.  He had found a comforting replacement for his mother. 

The two are inseparable. The caregivers  expect Breeze to be fine, thanks to the farmer who rescued  him and to those who cared enough to take this little Cutie in Special thanks to Buttons.
