High School Teenager Becomes The Mother of a Rejected and Malnourished Baby Donkey
Probably not exactly the headline you thought you would read today, right? Not really the article I thought I would be writing, but beauty shows itself in mysterious ways sometimes.
High school student Payton Dankworth never thought she would be mother to a baby donkey either, but I guess life is weird like that. Payton received a call from a friend who was out riding her horse when she came across the abandoned baby.
This girl's mother refused to take it home to look after so, desperate, the friend called Payton. Luckily Payton was in a situation where she was able to take on the task, and thus the story began.
Meet Jack the Donkey

Jack and his new Mom.

Payton said
“His mom wasn’t taking him so he called me and asked if i’d like to try and keep him alive. He was very malnourished and wasn’t doing very good. So I told him yes, I would do my best!”Cute!

Payton continued.
“After we got through the first night he started taking a bottle and going to the bathroom.”So small!

Bonded for life.

she explained.
“I don’t actually live on a farm but we do have property with other livestock animals on it.”Dinner time!

she told us.
“It’s been so heart touching watching him thrive.”Family affair.

What a heartwarming story! We all wish them both a long and happy life!
