Dead Wife And Kids Replaced By Miniature Horses

Jim and Tracy partner with the "Bridles of Hope" charity to replace the wife Don Groton lost to a drunk driver with a beautiful miniature horse.

And a little later, how to get out of debt by masturbating on a stage. But right now, the nightmare of losing one's entire family is almost unimaginable to most of us, yet our guest, Don Groton, was forced to face just such a tragedy eight months ago when his wife and two sons were killed by a drunk driver. Don, thank you so much for being with us this morning. Thank you. I'm just trying to hang in there. Well you've been so brave. -As you may already know Don, Today Now has partnered with Bridles of Hope, a charitable foundation which donates miniature therapy horses to those who are grieving and Don, you are our next lucky recipient. Derek, come on out. Don, you've endured so much. It's time to let us take the reins. This animal is for me? -That's right. Miniature horses are specially trained to help ease emotional pain. From now on you'll have this horse's comforting presence in your home 24 hours a day. But I live in an apartment. -Oh, we know that Don because Today Now just delivered 400 bushels of oats there free of charge. -Thank you but I'm not sure I can handle a horse right now. Don, most of our recipients find that having to constantly feed and clean up after a miniature horse, well it becomes kind of a daily regimen that keeps them from dwelling on the past. Now Don, we've had a lot of success with Bridles of Hope in the past. It was Cory who lost his mother to a brain tumor and the Johnstons whose house burned down. We've even sent miniature horses to Afghanistan to comfort civilian families that have been ravaged by war. Look, this would be great if I wanted this but I don't. Thanks, sorry. -Don't you want to ease your pain, Don? Yes, I guess, somehow. Yes, sure. There will be more good times Don with this Laura. That's right, we've named her after your beautiful wife. What? -And the miracles don't stop there either, Don. Not only are you getting a new Laura, but Bridles of Hope are donating three horses to make up for each family member you lost. We've already loaded Kevin and Joseph, your children into your Prius outside. Oh God, that's Laura's favorite scarf! You recognize it? -No, I don't want these horses! It's not going to work! I just want to be alone! But you say that in front of your Laura. You're hurting her feelings, Don. Don, maybe you'd like to take a moment and tell Laura you're sorry. -Laura, come to Don. Look Laura in the eyes. Don talk to her. It's never going to be the same again, Don. I'm sorry, but that's just the reality and you have to learn to accept it. God. I don't even know what's going on anymore. Why is this happening? -The healing has begun. It has indeed. Okay, stick around because you voted for it and coming up next we're going to meet the ugliest woman alive. Tonight in the news room, the National Organization for Women released its list of women it's okay to call a cunt. Stay tuned for details.
