Charlie, the Blind Horse and Jack, the Goat

Charlie the horse went completely blind, it looked as if this was Charlie's end, the staff were going to euthanize Charlie, but then something amazing happened. Jack the Goat and Charlie the horse became inseparable friends. The goat would lead Charlie everywhere, the goat never left Charlie's side, until one day when Charlie got trapped in an area where the goat couldn't lead Charlie outside. The Goat ran and got staff to rescue his friend and possibly saved Charlie's life. For sixteen years this went on, both always side by side, and then once while both were relaxing under their favorite tree, Charlie the horse peacefully died. The goat smelled Charlie and for the very first time left the horse that day, The goat appeared ambivalent, nonchalantly walking away. but I do believe that Jack the goat was grieving, just in his own specie's way. When Jack smelled Charlie for the very last time, to me it was as if he was trying to say, "It's over friend, you don't need me anymore so I'll be on my way." Charlie was buried under the tree where both would relax in stride, When Jack the goat died, Jack was buried right along Charlie the blind horse's side.
