Two recent arrivals at an Iowa animal shelter share a unique bond.
Recca, a donkey, and Costar, a horse, were delivered last week.
The next day workers at the Rural Iowa Animal Shelter in Rowley noticed that wherever Recca led, Costar would follow.
It turns out the horse is blind, and her best friend Recca acts as a "seeing-eye" guide.
"When we first put the water tank out we tried to show CoStar where it was, but she lost her bearings, so Recca would go over and nudge her until she found it," says Amanda Johnson.
Johnson has tried to make things easier for Costar by attaching a small bell to Recca's halter.
The shelter is now trying to find someone that will adopt both animals.
