the Dashing Donkey – A Tale of Two Donkeys
by Angela Grimes, Associate Executive Director
Eduard came to the WRR Do
No Harm Farm after he was abandoned in Comfort, Texas.
He had been living an average life in a fenced yard when one
day the human residents moved. They took the fence with them,
and left Eduard the Donkey. He spent several days walking
around to the neighbors' houses looking for handouts —
a little bite to eat or some fresh water to drink —
before the sheriff was called to assist the hungry vagabond.
Eduard was transported here and quickly made a new friend.
WRR is home to three other donkeys we call
the Three Donkey Boys, all rescued several years ago. One
of the Three, a beautiful white-faced boy separated himself
from the companionship of the trio to pine away at our fence
line for a lovely young jenny who lives next door. The jenny
already had a beau of her own and had no interest in the courting
brays the WRR donkey sang to her each day.
 The
lovesick donkey boy and our lonely vagabond, Eduard, quickly
became close friends. The white-faced donkey has let his interest
in the jenny next door take a backseat to his new best buddy,
Eduard. Eduard is no longer wandering and looking for someone
to feed him. Both have plenty of hay and fresh water and almost
200 acres to roam together, side by side. Each was seeking
something and in need of someone, and they have found it in
each other in the peaceful life of the Do No Harm Farm.
