Meet Hope and Love, two sister cows who have finally been reunited after months apart.
The sisters spent the first eight months of their lives together, during which time Love acted as a “seeing eye” for Hope, who’s blind.
They were born at a factory dairy farm. Hope was purchased by a family that planned to raise and breed her, but when they realized she was blind, they also bought Love. During that time together, the two formed an inseparable bond.
Because the family had never intended to buy two calves, blind Hope was eventually relocated to Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Temecula, California. Hope quickly made new friends at the refuge, who patiently helped her adjust to her fantastic new life.
When the kind rescuers at Sale Ranch learned that circumstances had changed for Love’s owners, they convinced the family to relinquish her. Eager to accommodate Hope’s sister, they hit the road to go pick her up.
Once again, Love became Hope’s eyes, and the sisters will never be separated again. Watch this video for a front-row seat to their heartwarming reunion!
From factory dairy farm to sanctuary, and together again.
What a beautiful story.
Hope & Love forever š

Lovely story. Well done, Sale ranch.
I love Hope and Love, the cows. I am so happy they are together in a nice Sanctuary. Love helps Hope and both need each other. They always should be together.
So Sweet!!
Great story!
Bless them.
INSANELY SWEET!!!
This is how cows were meant to live their lives!!! :’) And people think cows aren’t sentient beings… This is proof that they are!
Such a lovely story… if only humans realised the pain and torture that eating animals creates…. they feel pain and emotions just like us… and the slaughtering of millions of animals worldwide every minute of the day sickens me…
I hope the world wakes up soon and gives up meat and dairy… it’s not ours – it’s theirs and their babies…
Well said, Jan. Meat eaters simply do not make the connection between a living, sentient being & the carcass on their plate. Please go vegan…for the planet, for your health, for the animals.
THANKYOU
THANKYOU
What a monumental difference to the lives and treatment millions of cows receive all over the world. So touching to see the gentleness, the love and care, the joy they express. And we perceive cows as dumb producers of dairy products and meat. This story should waken us up to the heartless cruelty so many animals are subjected to.
OMG!!What a wonderful way to start my day!!Thank you Sale ranch and all my love to Hope and Love!Happy lives ladies!!!!
This is such a beautiful story. This is how people should be behaving.
OMG I loved seeing this — thank you so much for your incredible work!
My biggest wish is that we can come together to create this kind of humanitarian success for the roughly 600 undocumented children who have been ripped from their parents. I welcome all thoughts, ideas and strategies.
Love this group.
This is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever watched. These gentle, beautiful animals are everything humans should be…loving compassionate and kind. I have shared this and I hope it goes a long way in showing all humans just how deep animals feel emotions and pain and kindness. The people involved at this sanctuary are truly heroes who are an inspiration for all of us.
IF THERE IS A HEAVEN THEN THERE IS SURELY A PLACE FOR YOU FOLKS THERE
IN THE MEANTIME (AS AN ANIMAL LOVER MYSELF) I KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU ALL
GET A HELLUVA LOT OF SATISFACTION (AS WELL AS SADNESS) DOING WHAT YOU DO.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!
Iām so happy they were reunited.
Oh My Gosh….. this was sooooo wonderful and educational. I never would have thought that cows were so attentive and affectionate and would remember one another. Kudos to this wonderful rescue farm and to the woman who sits with them and hugs them.
Where there is Hope, there is Love. And where there is Love, there will always be Hope
You are wonderful! You made me have tears. But good tears.
Thank you a thousand times.
