Walking into Tucson Petting Zoo & Funny Foot Farm, you feel like family. You're greeted, not only by a tour guide, but also by Ghost, the family dog — she rolls over when you pet her so you can rub her belly. Your reward, a big toothy Australian Shepard grin.
It's the kind of place where you and the kids can forget about the hustle and bustle of the city, replacing the sounds of cars and televisions with the sounds of chickens, pigs and goats.
For the family that owns and operates the petting zoo, caring for animals and teaching the community about them is a dream come true.
"We love animals and this is a dream job for us, so we made it a real job," said Ken MacNeil, who co-owns the west side petting zoo with his wife, Georgi.
For Rande Davisson, Georgi's brother and the "best tour guide" on site, it's not even a job. "I live on property," Davisson said. "I take care of the animals at night and I wake up into my yard full of 130 animals. I don't consider it my job. It's my life."
