Lizzie the lamb, Portia the piglet and Boots the goat snuggle up at Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary near Kilmore, Victoria, Australia. Each was found abandoned and alone - Lizzie was just hours old when she was rescued from the side of a busy road. But the three are now thriving at Edgar’s Mission Farm Sanctuary in Kilmore, Australia. Picture: Robert Leeson/Newspix / Rex Features

This black and white spotted lamb seems to think he is a Dalmatian dog. The lamb was born at a dog breeder’s farm in South Australia’s Barossa Valley. After being rejected by his mother he was quickly adopted by dog Zoe and the pair are now inseparable. The dotty lamb follows her around the farm and even sleeps inside the dog kennel.

Born on March 1 to mom Turnip and dad Sid, the arrival of the lamb, named Kiwi, is a sure sign that spring is upon us.  (via zooborns)
