Roland just wanted to be a great dad, and you were awesome in empowering him instead of giving up on him like so many people would have.

The story of Roland always gets me right in the heart!!! I miss him so very very much!!! 😭💔😭💔😭💔

Happy tears for Mr. Roland, how precious he is.

If there's any video that has touched my heart it is this one of Roland, his determination and Les who wouldn't give up is just the most heart warming video of any of them.

What you did is a holistic medical practice called patterning. the only reason I know this is because I was lucky enough to be part of patterning for an elderly woman at the A.R.E. clinic in AZ who had had a stroke she was unable to speak or move at all on her own. We would lay her on her belly one of us taking her head and the other four people would take a limb. At that point we would mimic the movements of a baby crawling; while she laid flat on her belly we moved her head arms and legs the way that babies do when they're first learning tocrawl. It took over a year but I got the joy of watching this woman walk with a walker when they said she would never walk in any way again. I had the joy of hearing her speak when other doctors had said she would never speak again. What you did for Roland is you started a new pattern in his brain. You started his brain learning a splice (of sorts) around the broken circuit. His brain will continue to re pattern around that broken circuit and typically make a damn good recovery. Without knowing it you guys just did what a few high-end physicians get paid to do. MANY physicians are completely unaware of patterning what it is or what it does. But you guys did it perfectly!!

Thank you for leading us to this story/video from today’s live.❤🎉😮

Lester the love and compassion you have for Roland. The animals are blessed to be with younse. Your entire family is awesome

Wonderful Roland with wonderful daddy that wouldn't quit on him. Your a great guy Lester, the world needs alot more ppl like you.

Lester you are one of the kindest soul's on this cruel earth . God will have huge rewards for you someday .

Lester you are such a great man!! What you did for Roland helping him walk again brought tears to my eyes. Anybody else would have given up on him. You and your family are such an inspiration. Is Roland still around? I never seen his story until now. God Bless you!!

A lot of people don’t believe or understand that animals have feelings and emotions, Amazing you spent the time with him to get him back on his feet a lot of others wouldn’t or couldn’t give an animal time like you gave to Roland 💞

Roland is an inspiration to me. I know he is gone now, but never forgotten.

He was such a sweet and loving little guy. He sure had the fighting spirit and never gave up. God bless him. And God bless you for all you did for him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awww so sweet the way your animals obviously love you Lester. I never got to see Patti or Roland but they were so sweet. Now Lester I noticed something you were running around with Roland .... You , were the original #flipflopfarmer !! That's where LE got it from !!!! Like father like son xx

Beautiful video Lester, special babies that have crossed the rainbow bridge. Love this it’s a beautiful story! Love from Western Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

This video of the pig who could inspires me to not quit and believe I can still be useful even though I sometimes feel useless...thank you Lester and Mr Roland 💞❤️

Rolland, paty's and the babies= still a better love story than twilight ❤️💙

I just love this video! Good morning, two years later! 🐷😍

Roland is such a special pig, you are so lucky to have him. You are such an incredible man for giving him the best possible help you can and never giving up on him, his story is so touching. Wishing you the best luck for Roland in the future 🐷💕

Roland was gone before I started following ISS, but that was a magnificent tribute to him! It told me all I needed to know about what a special pig he was! Thank you for sharing!

If I was a Little, this is the only place I would want to live... Roland is my HERO! Lester, your love (all the flip-flop farmers) keeps the souls of family with a strong will be succeed with the best quality of life. God bless you all!

WOW 👏 What a video! Brings me to tears! Such a great story ❤ 🐖

First time watching this!! You're dedication to your baby's is unsurpassed!! Most people wouldn't go so far and beyond!! You are so wonderful Lester!!

Always and tember Mr Roland... RIP friend

Less than A year ago my dog couldn't walk on her back legs. Roland reminded of that time. Besides the meds the vet gave her I tried to use the strap holding her up and tried to walk with her. This pup is less than 20 pounds. But she's all muscles. It was to hard for me to use the strap. It was something like rand's diagnoses. With her spine Begin a hairdress I started messaging her. And excising her in the message. She gets plenty of messages every day. She walks on all four legs and runs. Sometimes she cross her legs. It was a close call thought I was going to loose her. She had so much will power just like Roland. Lester I know this had to be hard on your back. Roland is so much heavier and bigger than my hotdog. She's a Westie. Thank you so much for sharing this story. I had not heard about Roland before. I'm so very sorry for the lost of momma pig. Roland new what to do and stepped up to the plate and cared for the babies

OMG. I don't know if I could have had the will to make him continue through those squeals. But because you persevered, Roland did too! That's a story of faith and love. Roland knew he was loved and he wasn't going to be given up on! Roland is an exceptional pig with an exceptional owner/friend!💕

OMGoodness!!! This one about broke me, what a beautiful video of love, loss, determination and the will to live!! YOU make a difference!!! 🥰🥰

He was such a sweetie! What a beautiful tribute. He was awesome. I know Lester has a soft spot for piggies. We do too. Roland was super special !!!

Thank you to share the past story of ISS ♥️♥️♥️Roland with your help and love 💕. Lester you’re unique and your heart ♥️ is beautiful 🤩 🐽♥️

I love that you helped Roland instead of putting him down. You also ensured he wasn’t in pain and weighed that into your decision to rehab him. You guys are amazing. I’m so sorry you lost Paty 🥺

I’m a new follower. After watching some of your videos I thought, wow this couple really loves their animals. It’s really nice that you have an animal sanctuary. After watching this video, I understand why you call yourself daddy. These are your babies. You talk about them and care for them like they are. Love your videos! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!

Awww I love Rowland , what a beautiful special pig . I’m just so please he is walking on his own again , Thank you for you helping him 🙏👏👏

I love going back and rewatching all these older videos

Omg such a beautiful Roland stepping up to be a great father n companion..he will be dearly missed..and now he is up in heaven with patty the love of his life both rooting together up in heaven

What happened to Roland happened to my cat. I knew it right when I saw it. My cats legs were fixed as well. ❤️

This video pulls my heart strings 😩 Roland bring the best daddy and you can literally see the happiness and joy on Les' face as Roland is learning to walk again.. This Is definitely one of my favorite ♥️

Also this would become such an awesome children’s book! Especially the way you’re dad was narrating. It reminds me of the little train that could 😂🥰

Roland is a great Dad to those piglets. Love him. 💕

I'm happy KZfaq guided me back to this video. Love Roland ❤️

Just about every time this one pops up, I have to watch.

The rehabilitation of Roland is one of my favorite stories❣️

I just watched this video and it was so sad and absolutely beautiful. I didn't realize that he lost Paty and still trying to raise his babies and be there for them emotionally while dealing with his own deep loss. Then for this to happen but I think I can understand why and like you said it was just too much for him. But I love, just absolutely love how you never gave up on him and he never gave up on you. So heart wrentchingly beautiful 🐽💕

This is my favorite video ever. Roland was such a wonderful inspiration to all of us. If he could overcome dippity and walk again as a pig then we should be able to overcome anything. He is truly amazing and just so strong. What a beautiful story. Also thanks for never giving up Lester. You are awesome for what you did to help Roland. You never give up on your animals and you treat them all with the utmost love that you could possibly give.

Roland has an amazing support system ♥️♥️ Lester you never give up and show your babies so much love ♥️♥️ Amazing support ... I love you all !!!

You did a fantastic job of helping dear Roland heal. You’re a great Daddy Les. 🌺

Go Roland!!! ❤️ Thanks Lester!!

My Staffordshire bull terrier has recently been diagnosed with Degenerative myelopathy in his spine and it makes me sad knowing that he will start to struggle walking soon but its so lovely to see that even though Roland struggled he was still loving life xx

Wow Lester. Bless your heart. I'm crying again but happy tears for sweet Roland.

How wonderful! good work Roland & Lester! This got me in the feels! 😭

Aww how lovely. Glad to see Roland is doing better. So nice to see someone caring so well for animals. Blessings to you all from England.

I have watched this video several times and it is such a beautiful story. It showed you how much of a fighter Roland was. And it was amazing to see the love that you Lester put into help and Roland regain the strength and his back legs. You didn't take the easy way out. You did what your heart LED you to do. Thank you for everything you do for all of those beautiful animals. You have a very special gift

I cryyyy when roland walk praise the lord n u Lester never gave up on him

I love going back and watching these old videos of the older babies!! I so badly wish there were playlists for each month and year. Then we could watch the older videos in order. It's hard to click on "videos" and scroll each time to the bottom, or not knowing where you left off. But I love these old videos, I watch them every evening before bed! LOL - Plus if they were in playlists, I bet you'd get a lot more views. I know others would love to go back and watch old videos too!

That’s a beautiful story! 🤶🏻💖🇺🇸🤶🏻

This is one of my favorite videos, it's so great to see how much will he has and just the love from all the animals and Lester. Best family ever ❤️

Tears here. Roland is so adorable!

This is amazing. I knew that you have a huge heart but after watching this video I see how big & genuine it really is. You & your family are so great.

How awesome!!! Thank you.

And lester you are such a wonderful motivater...to all your babys...they are lucky to have such a human daddy like you here's to you lester 🏆

i got up feeling donw this morning . then i seen your pig it made my day good job man keep it up god bless

@TheDodo Needs to cover this story. If they want a heart felt, tear jerker of a happy ending story, this is it. Bless you Lester! The love in your voice is one in a million. I hope you, your family and your farm have rebounded and rebuilt in strength and stride!

Seeing video I never seen before love it never meet Roland. ❤️❤️

What a beautiful story. Unfortunately I never got the chance to love Mr. Roland. That was before I discovered ISS

I am in tears he is sweet !!!!!!

I miss Roland so much!

Awww here it comes. I’m bawling my eyes out. Omg what a beautiful story. I had no idea Paty passed after she had her babies and what an amazing partner Roland was. I love to see Peggy pig by his side. I knew about his back legs and you did such AMAZING work with him. So amazing.

First I'm so sorry for the loss of peggy. And I just want to say you are the best daddy to see how much you love your animals. And to see the lengths you willing to go to see roland back up on his feet again just confirms to me. What a magnificent daddy you are to all your the bigs, littles, and your kid's...

Thanks for sharing again. Made my heart warm.

Beautiful heartwarming story

This is the most touching video I've seen of the farm especially since I've not been able to walk in 4 months but I will be again soon. Thank you for sharing this with the world and Lester for always having faith that Roland could do it.

Aww I loved the Facing the Giants reference....”don’t you quit on me Roland”

These animals are so lucky to have you and your family.

Wow this is the 1st time Ive shed a tear in 2 years

Such a beautiful story.

That pig was staring at him at 2:53 as if he was saying for gods sake's help me. We can be so blind sometimes.Fair play though he really cares about his friend, that was great to see. It seems it's stress related or heat related which considering the situation and the fact that he was under pressure is not surprising. It's always important to connect with your animals and put yourselves in their position. They are emotional beings.

I watched this years ago on FB but it was fun to watch it again.

I have a senior Pitbull this happened to her about 6 months ago she couldn't walk at all but the dogs are amazing their spine nerve will regenerate within 3 or 4 weeks so I had to carry her back legs around with the towels so she could go potty and eat and everything I thought I was going to lose her but she's great now and I'm so glad that you did this for this baby I would do it

All I can say is Awe!! So beautiful.

God Bless You🙏🏼 Roland and you are amazing🤗

Where there is a will there is a way! Good Job!! Roland!!!!

I’m in love w Mr Roland...!!!!

Lester as usual you are amazing! It is so wonderful to see something good on the internet! Thank you for all you do!

Thank you for telling about Roland. What a special fellow he was.
