I'd like to share my fascination with this gentle creature that has helped shape human history and can stand in line among some of mankind's oldest domesticated creatures. He is a forgotten and unsung hero that has often been misrepresented and misunderstood.
Donkeys are very versatile and willing workers, despite the rumor of their being stubborn.
Most importantly, a donkey will charm you with their wonderful personalities and gentle intelligence. They are not only useful, but are great pets in their own right. Being owned by a donkey is an honor and a heartwarming experience. This friendship will last almost a life time - donkeys have been known to live for 40 plus years.
