Adorable footage of a young lamb, too weak to stay with its mother, curled up on a couch with a toddler.

The video, filmed in Michigan on March 28, shows the three-day-old ram lamb cuddling up to its owner's son after it was unable to regulate its temperature so kept getting too cold.

According to the filmer, the lamb was later able to return to its mother, fit and well.

She later wrote online: "Easter Sunday, our ewe Coralee gave birth to twin ram lambs.

"One of the lambs was a little weak and was having trouble maintaining his temperature so we brought him into the house to warm up."

"Our toddler was instantly in love with the young lamb, and in normal toddler style demanded to help," she continued.

"It was not long before the two were curled up on the couch talking to each other.

"I'm happy to report that the lamb was able to return to his mother shortly after this video, and he is doing great."
