Golden retrievers have a way of making every animal on the farm feel like family, and Loryn is no exception. The sweet dog has fully embraced her role as a caretaker after a pair of rescued baby goats arrived at her owner’s farm.

Andrea Holley says Loryn is always nearby when the farm animals need attention, but the goats seem to have brought out her maternal side in a big way. Now the dog and the babies spend their days together, snuggling, playing, and following each other around like they have known one another forever.

And once Loryn decided those goats were hers, there was no convincing her otherwise.
