His mother had perished at the slaughterhouse where they had saved him.

When he arrived at The Gentle Barn, Lewis wasn’t in the greatest of health.

Lewis’ stressful delivery experience also kept him from ingesting enough colostrum to strengthen his immune system. As a result, when he acquired pneumonia, he battled to survive.

Because they were aware that he wouldn’t be able to live in the barn, they carried him inside their air-conditioned house. He need a cool, clean atmosphere, so they will be able to care for him constantly.

Another animal that resided within the home was also going to be a huge blessing for Lewis.

His name is Sky.
Sky was given to The Gentle Barn by his prior owner, who was unable to handle his high level of energy. Sky was an excellent therapy dog, despite the fact that they weren’t authorized to adopt him. He can make people laugh, soothe those who are anxious, and calm those who have anger management problems.

They first realized Lewis and Sky had a solid relationship when Lewis was able to venture outside.

Sky was also present to assist Lewis get used to his new farm life when Ellie took him on walks and introduced him to the other cows.

Lewis was just 50 pounds when he was brought in a week later.
He is currently two years old and over a thousand pounds. He is now far larger than Sky.

Due to the fact that they are aware of the significant weight disparity between them, they are no longer as physical with one another. They continue to express their affection for one another despite this.

Lewis will lay down on the ground and Sky will be all over him. He’ll lick Lewis and lay down beside him.

“There are a lot of things for which to be grateful when I see Lewis and Sky together.

What I admire most about them is that their love never ends, no matter how old or large they are,” Ellie remarked of their union. “To us, a cow and a dog are visible. However, Sky and John Lewis only perceive love, family, and friends.
