A Utah senior community has a baby kangaroo named Marlee staying with it. CBS says the Marlee is bringing smiles to the residents who enjoy holding and feeding the little kangaroo. USA Today has a story about how animals like Marlee bring happiness to senior centers.
"Animals are all-accepting. They don't care about whatever issues a person might have," says Noralyn Snow, administrator at the Silverado Senior Living Aspen Park Community in Salt Lake City, home to 100 memory-impaired residents, seven dogs, six cats, 40 birds and a baby kangaroo named Marlee who can coax a smile out of even the most recalcitrant senior. "And having pets around adds excitement and spontaneity."
Here's the video of Marlee hopping around the Utah senior center.
