(geese honking) (gentle upbeat music) - If you walk onto my property and you start walking around seeing the animals and your mood has changed for the better almost instantly.

This is Nugget.

He was raised in my house.

I'm a nurse.

In June, it will be 40 years.

My mom's a nurse.

Two of my sons are nurses.

My daughter-in-law's an anesthesiologist.

Care is the...

The care is the word.

Hey, Dorothy.

When I got Dorothy, I took her to the hospital to go visit a patient.

After that, the joy that brings to people, I thought why not?

Ever since then, I share my videos with my patients at work.

It takes them to a different place.

(patient speaks indistinctly) It's very healing for them.

For a moment, it's not medicine.

It's life, it's animals and people.

At the nursing home, there was a hundred year old lady who said, "I've lived to be a hundred years and I've never touched a sheep before."

Hi, Daisy.

They were gonna be slaughtered.

So Daisy, I was told was abused.

My adult goats were at a sale barn.

The meat guy comes to get them.

Clover's the mama.

Oh, that was my finger.

This is good for the soul for sure.

Just makes you a better person taking care of something, whether it's people or animals.

I love my job and I love animals obviously, and I love the mix of animals and people together.

It makes for a wonderful experience.

(geese honking) Yeah, you're a good boy.

I just feel like it's just what I do and it's magical for me, but I can't just keep them for me.

I have to share all this with people.
