Goats help boy cope with ADHD


BY JANE PRENDERGAST | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER:
Behind a two-story house on a quiet cul-de-sac here in Clermont County, a boy jumps on a trampoline with his goats.

Two goats. They're David Valentine's 4-H projects, his pets. He lets D.J. and Blessing in the house to watch television, feeds them Tums and shares his sunflower seeds.

The 2½-year-old caramel pygmy and the 18-month-old American Alpine are also the only things that help the 12-year-old manage his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, David's mother, Patty, insists.

See Goats are therapy! Thanks Angela for the link :)

Wow! This is amazing new information! It turns out half of America's children would be in a better place mentally if they had a pet goat.
