When floods strike it’s often animals who suffer the most. As humans attempt to pack up their belongings or flee at the last moment, they oftentimes leave their beloved pets behind. After Storm Desmond blew through Killorglin, Ireland, many animals were abandoned because they were too hard to transport at the last moment.
One of those animals was a friendly donkey which managed to escape from its paddock and then became stuck in a flood in the middle of town.
Suzanne Gibbins, from The Animal Heaven Animal Rescue, took a call about the donkey but soon realized she couldn’t get to the animal. She posted on the wall of a local rowing club asking if anyone could help and Mike Fleming and another local came to the donkey’s aid.
