The Look on This Donkey’s Face After He Was Saved From a Flood Will Make Your Day (PHOTOS)

I must admit that I am a little biased in my love for hoomans. Being that I am a dog and the majority of the people I meet greet me not only with praise but also tons and tons of multi-flavored treats, I have to say that I think people are pretty dang great! Unfortunately, some people don’t always treat other animals with as much love and affection as they treat me … it’s a bizarro phenomenon that I have yet to wrap my little paws around … but nevertheless, I have to say that for every person who does something mean to an animal – there HAVE to be at least 1,000 more who do awesome things every day and just never get credit for it. Don’t worry little Green Monsters, I am here to bring some well-deserved praise to people who are the bee’s knees when it comes to being kind to animals.
Take this fella for example! On Imgur, one hooman posts ” My friend saved a donkey from drowning after floods in Ireland last night.” When I read this I was all “awww, that’s so niiiiiice!”
Doesn’t he look so sad and cold!
I was already convinced that was this kind dude did was absolutely cool … then I saw this:
LOOK AT THAT FACE! Is he not the happiest lil guy you ever did see?!
Doesn’t it just make your day known that one compassionate action can lead to something as incredible as the smile on this donkey’s face. Hey, just another little reminder of what happens when you do good things for others!

While it is wonderful that this donkey was rescued, AHAR is not a charity you should send your cash to. Although they have been in existence for many years they have never published accounts or an annual report, and block/ban and demonise people who ask how their donations were used or who enquire about specific animals which seem to have disappeared into thin air. Former volunteers, donors, adopters and fosterers all have horror stories to tell. I was once an ardent supporter, donor, and defender myself.
For the sake of the animals, you can donate directly to AHAR’s vet or feed supplier, whose info you will find on their page. Just don’t be fooled by the rainbows and fairy tales when you get there.
And by the way, the donkey’s “grin” was actually a grimace; you can tell he was frightened by the way he was holding his ears in all the photos taken once he was brought to shore.
