Frostie the Snow Goat with wheels has passed away

Do you remember that adorable baby goat who was using a wheel-cart because his back legs didn't work? Well, we have some sad news this morning - unfortunately, Frostie the Snow Goat has passed away.

The little goat warmed everyone's hearts when a video showing him whizzing around on his wheels went viral. In recent weeks, using the wheel cart had made him stronger and he was beginning to regain the use of his back legs.

However, his health was still poor and Frostie sadly passed away yesterday at his home on Monday morning in a goat sanctuary - Edgar Missions in Australia.

In a blog post titled 'Why?', Edgar's Mission's founder Pam Ahern wrote about how much Frostie meant to her, and to people around the world.

"Whilst a part of me feels cheated that Frostie’s was not a long life it was certainly one filled with more happiness and joy, love and friendships, kindness and compassion than many animals receive in a lifetime and in doing so he did surmount insurmountable odds," she wrote.

"Frostie’s lesson to me has been this, to seize every minute of the your life as the most precious gift there is, use it wisely and lovingly for you never know if it is your last."

RIP, kid. Hopefully, you're running around that big goat field in the sky.
