Abandoned by his mother days after his birth, a 10-day-old foal now has a new fuzzy friend.
Breeze, a small, sickly foal, was discovered by farmers in Dartmoore Hill in England suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration after he was apparently abandoned by his mother.
After an appeal to find the pony a new companion, Breeze was given a giant stuffed teddy bear with which to snuggle — appropriately called Button.

Now Breeze is kept company by the 4-foot teddy bear, as he's being nursed back to health by a foal and mare sanctuary at Honeysuckle Farm in Newton Abbot.
According to The Sun, the duo has been inseparable.
The foal's new friend was made possible only by the generosity of the local community. Days earlier, the Mare and Foal Sanctuary had posted a plea asking for stuffed animals for the horse.

Syra Bowden, the executive director at the sanctuary, said: "It's been wonderful to see Breeze interacting with his new teddies and cuddling up to them when he goes to sleep. They are great company for him and provide comfort to him during the brief periods when his carers (sic) are not present."
Bowden also thanked the community for their generosity towards the foal.
