I have such a soft spot for donkeys. They're adorable to me. They're intelligent and have the goofiest personalities with the perfect amount of stubbornness. So underrated!

I almost cried along with little Ben crying for his mommy. I am glad he is happy now.

I wanted to cry right along with little Ben. He wanted his mommy. I'm glad he found someone who would take care of him.

My first horse was a donkey. I was 10 and my parents were given a brother and sister. Best gift ever. We had journeys, I learned real responsibility. They were with me until they died, Pete was 22 and Jenny was 23. We buried them on the place where they were loved, petted and cared for.

I've done my internship at a Donkey Sanctuary.
Donkeys are such amazing creatures.
My heart bleeds listening to his cries

For all the people who love and take care of animals, thank you!

The first few seconds seeing him crying was a little heartbreaking. I'm glad such a sanctuary exists. Ben is sure looking good now

[Nettsinthewoods]

She’s so happy to have him. What a joyful outcome.

Ben desperately needed a friend and a mom. Jingles needed a foal. They helped one another through a lonely time. I don't have the words to express how beautiful their bonding and mutual nurturing is.

It tears my heart to hear that little guy crying for his mother.

Poor little guy, animals are just like humans. When they're babies they need to be cared for, they are defenseless. Thank God for people that care. God bless you all.

Lovely story. Many, many thanks to the donkey santuary for looking after all those dear souls and getting Ben through the tough times! Much love!

It’s sad when a mare rejects her foal (especially with a cry like that. Seriously, I’m not even his species and I wanted to immediately take care of him) but it’s always a relief when a mum can be introduced and teach them the ins and outs of being what they are.

That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺

His whimpering in the beginning made me want to hug him😔, I'm Glad he got comfort and support in abundance 💖💞❤😊

[luciemarinov]

Im so happy u found a surrogate mommy to take care of him! I love all the videos from Dodo! Thank you for sharing this with us!

It was sad seeing Ben cry out for his mother and not getting to be with her. He is as adorable as they get. Glad he's doing well and others are excepting him. Thank you to all of the people that work at this sanctuary for caring for these animals.

“He has great friends and Donkey companions”! This one statement says everything about these wonderful people and their care of these donkeys.☮️

The crying for his mamma nearly broke my heart. But Jingles was the best thing for him. So happy for Ben. 🐴

[jayATUK]

Awww I'm happy he got a foster mum! Rather than just being brought up by humans, which wouldn't have been able to teach him in the same way as a fellow donkey would.
It was so nice to see him happily running around with Jingles :)
Thank you to everyone at the Donkey Sanctuary and everyone who has donated to them!
