Recently at Earthfire’s Digital Storytelling Workshop, we were asked to create videos of animal interactions that touched us. Josie, the Buffalo Goat, immediately came to mind. To me, she epitomizes the whole feeling of Earthfire. Brought to the Sanctuary to provide nutritional milk to orphaned buffalo calves, a relationship blossomed that amazed and delighted me.
