Sorry, But My Lot didn't put the photo up, even though it downloaded properly, in my first attempt at this discussion.
I received this from a friend.
You should see the photo that goes with it."Only in Alaska........
This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his horses, and believe it or not, he has trained
it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks.
Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the
best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick,
although during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home.... wow"Sorry, I don't know the original author.

Just shows that a bit of kindness can reap big rewards. Am glad that the moose has an ally and that he can be a moose also. Tis a grand story to share and give us hope that all the world is not crazy! Would love to see the moose in action.
