    This man is so confident and so soothing. No hyper macho nonsense. A man’s man, and he gives these animals the sense of safety and security that they maybe never had before. I dig this a lot.

      We don’t know what relationship this Donkey had with its previous owner . He doesn’t look abused , neither does Ruby . The fact the person ended up in prison , does not mean they abused their animals . Maybe this boy is missing his previous owner . Animals create huge bonds with humans . Poor lad .He really is in the best place now to find trust again ❤️

    I do love the fact that you spend time with the animals - the trust you are gaining will go a long way. They are all attached to your kind, gentle and soft approach to them. I love the therapy you are doing with them psychologically. They truly understand what you are saying to them. I am betting he/they have never had such love in their lives.

    All donkeys I’ve known loved inner ear scratches. I’ve shown my horses how wonderful it can be too. It takes them longer to get used to it. Once they do they love it.
