Watch: Lonely donkey meets new goat friends

The moment a donkey, who was left "lonely" after his goat best friend died, was introduced to two his new companions after an appeal was caught on camera.

Harold, from Leicestershire, lost his best friend - a goat called Billy - at Christmas.

An advert in a farm shop led to his owners being "inundated" with offers, with one from a woman who needed to rehome her goats due to ill health.

Sweepy and Fletcher have now met Harold, who has "taken to them", according to his owner Dot Smith.
