I wondered what this donkey was going to talk about at 11:30. Ends up he casually wandered around us listening to the talk to make sure the humans at the Donkey Sanctuary had their facts straight.

Here’s what I learned:

• They are smart, curious and not easily startled – so will stop to access an uncertain situation. Makes sense, but this is often mistaken for stubbornness.
• Donkeys in the UK and Europe have to have passports.
• They have great memories, remembering places and other donkeys from 25 years ago.

After the fantastic day I spent with these gentle creatures, if someone calls you a donkey, I believe it’s a compliment.
