WEST CHESTER, Ohio — Miniature cows rolled through the courtyard at Liberty Place , an Anthem Memory Care Community in West Chester, on Monday afternoon, bringing smiles and memories to residents.

The special visitors from Boots N' Mimi Moos provided more than entertainment; they offered therapeutic benefits for people living with cognitive impairment.

"It's very soothing to them; they've grown up with pets, lived on farms, so even just having an animal around, even if they can't have it themselves now to take care of every day, just having them come in and visit makes them smile," said Amy Snow, Life Engagement Director for Liberty Place.

For 88-year-old Mary Lou Ullrich, meeting cows Laney and Darla brought back fond memories of farm life.
