Kay Dawson is a 59-year-old farm shop manager near Stratford-upon-Avon, England, who decided to adopt three lambs as pets of her own, as SWNS reported.

The pack of three came to Dawson from a local farmer who said the lambs' mother couldn’t feed them adequately, SWNS noted.
Dawson told SWNS that the local farmer was struggling to keep up with their food needs.
