You Won't Believe What This Donkey Did After Being Rescued From A Wildfire
"It's like he knew, 'If I stick with you, I'll be safe.'"
After being saved from her burns, the traumatized animal did what any smart ass would: she stayed by their side the rest of the time.
"We have many wild donkeys living in the area, so we're very used to them here. They're normally quite skittish, but this one was not," DHFD administrator Jeanne Kentch told The Dodo. "This one followed the firefighters. It's like she knew, 'If I stick with you, I'll be safe.' She kept following them around. "
Eventually though, he was pried away from her new best friends long enough to be treated for her minimal wounds. As far as her care goes, if an owner doesn't come forth in the next several days, the American Wild Horse Sanctuary in California has volunteered to give her a home.
