The year -round free camp sits on 84 hectares in the small hometown of Randleman, North Carolina, about 75 miles west of Raleigh. It is designed for children with conditions that include cancer, renal and heart disease, cerebral palsy, spina bifids and a number of neurological and physical disabilities.
Whitetop has become known for its relaxed, sweet and empathetic figure. His move is to lie calm as the pet campers, which can comfort children and make an important sensory contribution to them, said Billie Davis, director of the camp.
“He really has to help the campers to get out of their shell when they communicate with him,” she said. “It can be scary at first, but once they come to him and love him and pets at him, they just realize how sweet he is.”

One of his best friends is miniature gorjana cow Called a Gus-Gus, which tends to forget Whitetop is Lama and enjoys jumping on him. Whitetop also likes to roll in a fresh wood chippings, soaked lucethful and poses for selfies.
“If you try to photograph him from the side, he’s not in that,” Davis said. “He, like a curd inside and try to get his face from the side profile, so it’s like him.”
Davis attributes Whitetop’s long life to great veterinary care and exercise, and that he simply loves his job.
The average life span of Lama is 15 years, according to the Union to preserve the Zoo in Denver.

Whitetop has developed arthritis at his dusk age, but otherwise he is very healthy, Davis said. And the only time Lama is upset when Gus-Gus, along with two miniature donkeys named Jed and Jethro, leaves him alone.
Stephanie Wilkerson, 33, first went to the 2006 family weekend camp after she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She said she was a bit nervous about Whitel at first, but soon realized that she had hugged him and hugged him that she felt better.
“When I started to caress him more and more, I relaxed more relaxed,” said Wilkerson, who lives in Thomasville, North Carolina.

With Whitetop’s newly founded glory in longevity, the camp began to sell a limited edition T -shirts, and a Whiteetop with sunglasses and words were shown, “Still spitting.” The income goes to the camp.
Although Davis said Whitetop would want people to know that all the lames spit on you.
“Typically, the lames are spitting only when they are scared, unpleasant or territorial for something,” she said. “And he just loves his job so much that he doesn’t do it.”
