Sarah Lewis: "We rescued Baymax from an auction house. He had strangles and I was unsure what else so he was quarentined miles from my other horses. He befriended our most kind hearted golden retriever, Griffin. The 2 of them didn't notice one was a horse and one was a dog. They just wanted companionship"
