Six tiny orphaned lambs were recently found shivering outside in Australia's harsh winter. One of the lambs is Soda Pop, and her incredible story will truly melt your heart.
Soda Pop arrived at Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary when she was just a few days old. She was covered in mud and could barely sit upright. Her rescuers soon discovered that Soda Pop was born with a deformity in her legs, and was unable to walk. The staff feared she wouldn't make it, but they were determined to do everything they could to help her survive.
Founder and director Pam Ahern quickly came up with a brilliant idea to teach Soda Pop to walk and help her gain strength in her leg muscles. Pam cut four holes in a canvas tote bag and used the handles to hoist the tiny baby up onto her legs. Within a week, Soda Pop gained a remarkable amount of mental and physical strength, thanks to the staff's efforts and, of course, the genius green tote-bag-sling.
The non-profit shelter located in Australia is known for taking in farm animals who would otherwise be executed, and treated them to the simple yet effective comforts — like cuddly stuffed bears, furry blankets, and tiny woolen jumpers.
As for Soda Pop, she continues to get stronger and more full of life every single day, despite her once bleak diagnosis. "Her wonderful story is an important reminder that our greatest glories lie not in falling, but in rising every time we fall," says Pam.
