I have such a soft spot for donkeys. They're adorable to me. They're intelligent and have the goofiest personalities with the perfect amount of stubbornness. So underrated!
I love em too
That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺 His whimpering in the beginning made me want to hug him😔, I'm Glad he got comfort and support in abundance 💖💞❤😊
Me too. If they don't want to do something, they might have a very reason... You should listen to them
they're so fluffy
I love all animals!❤... even if i still eating meat.... But why would that be an impediment to me to LOVE animals?
I almost cried along with little Ben crying for his mommy. I am glad he is happy now.
Me too
А что случилосьс его мамой, извините, я этот язык не понимаю.
❤❤❤❤
Yeah the noise he made was heart wrenching.
Me too!! I love these beautiful animals
She’s so happy to have him. What a joyful outcome.
Im so happy u found a surrogate mommy to take care of him! I love all the videos from Dodo! Thank you for sharing this with us!
I've done my internship at a Donkey Sanctuary. Donkeys are such amazing creatures. My heart bleeds listening to his cries
Wow how fun.
Thank you for doing your bit
If you ever want to travel there is a donkey rescue on Crete, in Greece. Run by a Greek man and his New Zealand wife. They take in donkeys worked until they are broken, send farriers and vets out to overworked and neglected donkeys. In many ways, many of the country Greek people are dark age. No empathy. But the younger people are slowly improving. But if anyone does go to Crete on holiday, do visit. Bring them a bucket of apples, a bale of lucerne hay, a bag of horse nuts.
For all the people who love and take care of animals, thank you!
Lovely story. Many, many thanks to the donkey santuary for looking after all those dear souls and getting Ben through the tough times! Much love!
Poor baby! I'm so glad that he got the loving care that he needed and that Jingles came into Ben's life! 💕💕💕
Poor fellow. Lucky for Ben that Jingles was around.
Glad he found a mom who accepted him.❤️
Ben is a sweetheart. So cute and I'm so glad there was a happy ending for little Ben. Thank you all for everything you did for this little guy.
It’s sad when a mare rejects her foal (especially with a cry like that. Seriously, I’m not even his species and I wanted to immediately take care of him) but it’s always a relief when a mum can be introduced and teach them the ins and outs of being what they are.
I never would have known you're not a Donkey had you not said it.
@ Psychologymajor PTSD The only reason the mother donkey rejected her baby was because she assumed he was going to be taken away like all the others had been on the farm. This also happens to all the cows on dairy farms eventually, they learn to protect themselves from heartbreak.
@@stevenperdue996 lol
@Harvey PlantHarvester He was her first foal so I don’t know why would you think that.
@@harveyplantharvester1502 you like making stuff up?
That was a beautiful story. Every living creature needs a companion. 😘
Every creature needs love and nurture, even when all grown up we need it so mjch that we bond and stay connected as long as we get that mirraculous food for our soul and body - love in all its forms! This is a marvelous story!!! So happy Ben is fine now and YOU made it happen! Bless you!
Those first few moment broke my heart! So happy for the beautiful bond and for your sanctuary.
Ben desperately needed a friend and a mom. Jingles needed a foal. They helped one another through a lonely time. I don't have the words to express how beautiful their bonding and mutual nurturing is.
The first few seconds seeing him crying was a little heartbreaking. I'm glad such a sanctuary exists. Ben is sure looking good now
It was indeed...poor little boy
That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺 His whimpering in the beginning made me want to hug him😔, I'm Glad he got comfort and support in abundance 💖💞❤😊
Eeyup.
I'm glad to
Awww he found his bouncy bouncy bounce jumpy jumpy jump off everything and everyone back 😍🤗
What a beautiful boy! He’s SO fortunate to have had an adopted Mother to get him properly started in the world, and your work with him was terrific too~ All best wishes for you, Ben!!
I hope Jingles is OK now that Ben is independent. She did such a great job. Kudos to Jingles, the forgotten hero?
I wondered about Jingles, too. Hope she found a companion to bond with.
Unfortunately she passed away from a broken heart after Ben was taken away from her. I guess it's true what they say. Every Donkey has its day.😢
@@stevenperdue996 Where did you read this?
@@stevenperdue996 yea ok. nice one
@@stevenperdue996 If you can't prove your bullshit, don't go spreading it.
This is heartbreaking. She’s so cute.

I don't think you actually watched the video.
Typical karens changing the gender
Donkeys are so understandably underrated. Cheeky little creatures. Constant entertainment and so very loving if raised well.
I am crying now,it broke my heart what a beautiful little men 💔 you are all Angel's thank God there's people like you out there, thank you 💗 God bless you all 😅
Such a heart warming story. I absolutely adore donkeys, they are just the best.
I agree with you
It tears my heart to hear that little guy crying for his mother.
Truly! That Donkey Cry really cuts to the heart.
Sadly like many human mothers using that term lightly, they don't have the heart to love a child which is why many kill them before born with abortion
@@lance9249 Not true its worst when they have them full term and still abandon them or get rid of them.
@@lance9249 You know nothing of the suffering women who decide for abortion go through.
@@lance9249 or can’t afford to raise them 🤷♂️. Animals don’t get abortion while a human has a choice to abort a fetus
A tough start to life down here BUT he was born in the ABSOLUTE BEST place for him to get over that hardship. Wonderful pair! Bless the substitute mom for opening her heart ❤️ and bless all the hard worker’s (caregiver’s) at the sanctuary 🕊.
He’s adorable, love his patchwork coat. Awesome rescuers , 🙏🏼
Awww... So 😢 he was so adorable, how could anyone reject this boy. Show's that family isn't by blood only.
That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺 His whimpering in the beginning made me want to hug him😔, I'm Glad he got comfort and support in abundance 💖💞❤😊
Love is family :)
She rejected him?.....Bad Mommy
@@rohypnotist6263 What a stupid comment!
@@mariarey7534 Thanks !
I'm glad Ben found a new mom!
Why am I crying? Poor Ben, I’m glad he’s happy now ❤
Why are you asking us why you are crying? That makes no sense.
I Absolutely LOVE Donkeys ...
Those cries were heartbreaking. 😢
Yeah, poor little fella, makes me want to sell his horrible mother to a glue factory for rejecting him
Awww I'm happy he got a foster mum! Rather than just being brought up by humans, which wouldn't have been able to teach him in the same way as a fellow donkey would. It was so nice to see him happily running around with Jingles :) Thank you to everyone at the Donkey Sanctuary and everyone who has donated to them!
I love you. Wish there were more people like you.
Oh SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!❤❤❤🐎 And May God Bless You All For Being Soooooo Kind AMEN!!!!!!!🐎❤❤❤❤❤
This is sad and adorable
The crying for his mamma nearly broke my heart. But Jingles was the best thing for him. So happy for Ben. 🐴
me too...my eyes are filling up. I wanted to care for him! So, So happy he found a companion
@@eileenmarievandiver7476 I feel the same way. I cried hearing him cry. That broke my heart. So glad he's okay now.💕
So incredibly glad this had a happy ending and you have taken in so many others like him in need..😍
All hail the Mighty Jingles
What a beautiful story they are such a pretty animal I love when people care enough about nature and help them along in difficult times he definitely grew to be a very handsome fellow
Beautiful god bless.
Everything living needs sometimes to love
You did an amazing job with that poor baby. You're real angels. Thanks
So sad that Ben was rejected when he needed his mother the most. Thank you for all you dedicated help and assistance. You have nurtured him to happiness and being independent. Happy days and cannot forget your undivided care you give to these animals. 🙏♥️👍👌
The only reason the mother donkey rejected her baby was because she assumed he was going to be taken away like all the others had been on the farm. This also happens to all the cows on dairy farms eventually, they learn to protect themselves from heartbreak.
Harvey PlantHavester 😢 It’s heartbreakingly true, although there is a small glimmer of hope being trialled up north and is producing fantastic results not just for Mother and Baby… They stagger the pregnancies, when Mum has her Baby she is allowed to keep Him/Her allowing her to rest whilst baby has the vital colostrum…. She can then make a choice whether she goes to the milk parlour or declined…… Yes all the cows come and go from this high tech milking which detects which cow has come in, cleans the udder first, takes the milk then records everything… It is absolutely amazing to watch and will even detect a new Mum and goes through the motion, but not take her milk… The farmer was reluctant and sceptical but his daughter pushed him to have it… Not only has there been a significant change in the whole herd but it’s producing more milk… Everything that happens, happens when the cow decides it will happen.. The female calf’s will join the herd and the males are sold, but only when they come of age, although they are now considering keeping good quality males who can eventually start to make more babies….. This has to be the way forward with Animal Welfare coming before profit….. Maybe we will get it right, God Willing🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
@@Lottydon1649 God willing. 🙏🙂
From a heartbreaking beginning to the perfect happily-ever-after story. So happy for him!
That is so sweet He is happy. Glad they are together
Poor little guy, animals are just like humans. When they're babies they need to be cared for, they are defenseless. Thank God for people that care. God bless you all.
🙏❤️🙏 Amen 🙏❤️🙏
🙏Amen
no animal are not just like human...
@@topherdaniel sometimes even BETTER than humans.....
@@topherdaniel even baby animals behave better than most children wtf
It was sad seeing Ben cry out for his mother and not getting to be with her. He is as adorable as they get. Glad he's doing well and others are excepting him. Thank you to all of the people that work at this sanctuary for caring for these animals.
Guess the mother really wanted to be what a donkey is supposed to be all about.,
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 There's Special Blessings for those whom help others and Animals.
Donkeys are amazing animals ❤
“He has great friends and Donkey companions”! This one statement says everything about these wonderful people and their care of these donkeys.☮️
Yeah, anyone that will put piggies to sleep in a bed, well, they are my kind of people!
This story has blown every fuse in my "adorable" circuits.
i love your comment :)
God will bless you big time for taking care of these donkeys thank you❤
Way to go Ben!! It was heartbreaking to hear his cries for his mommy. I’m so happy that everything turned around for him with his new mom and he grew up strong and healthy and happy.
Beeeeeeeen ! 💙
It's encouraging to see caring people and nurturing animals taking such good care of these orphaned creatures so they can live happy, meaningful lives.
So glad he could imprint on a donkey and no longer the human. So glad he has a nice home and hope it isn't too overwhelming with 7000 to care for. WOW. Thank you for caring for them.
WHAT A SWEET AND TOUCHING VIDEO! GLAD HE'S DOING WELL!😇🐴
Cute just hands down cute
Such a happy time for him from the cruel start he had with his mums rejection. Praise God for the help in his life. 😊
I just wish there were more people like all of you in this world!
Donkeys are one of my favorite animals! They are so unique, hilarious, and adorable 💕 I can’t wait to have donkeys running around on my farm!! 🤣
Hello Jenin......
Hello pretty, how are you doing today?
Hearing him crying for his mommy really broke my heart and i almost cried with him. I’m glad that everything turned out so good for him ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much people with a huge heart, may God bless you❤❤❤
Little Ben, you're loved baby!!!!! God Bless you all!!!! Thankyou 💗
What a handsome boy he grew up to be, with a wonderfully loving attitude
He’s such a cutie!! Yay that he met such a good friend.
Thank you!
his fur is the prettiest, so glad he is okay now
Omggg he’s so cute and snuggly I wanna take him in and cuddle him forever!!!
I've never seen a donkey so unique with such beautiful fur! Ben we love you and are so happy that you found your new mommy!
HE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART,I LOVE HIM TO ❤ 💕 MUCH.
cry baby donkey i like you donkey 🥺🥺🥺
"He didn't know who he was' That's so telling about human psychology too.
I’m so happy for this adorable baby donkey. Just like us humans we all do better when we are nurtured by our mommies.
who are you?
Unwanted children are a lot like Ben.
@@ganymeade5151 So true its actually worst in humans emotional psychological trauma many never heal even as adults.
That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺 His whimpering in the beginning made me want to hug him😔, I'm Glad he got comfort and support in abundance 💖💞❤😊
I lost it crying when Ben couldn't find his mommy.......how delicate, cruel,,comforting and joyous this carisal od life......hug whoever you next to....😇😇😇🌟✨🙏🙏💔🏵️💮🌸🪷🌷🌺🌹💐🪻🌻🍁🌚🌝🌞🌞🌞🌞
No baby should be without love and affection. Snuggling, warmth the feeling of being loved! So cute
I wish more was said about Jingles and how things went for her after he weaned and matured away from being the baby. They're so precious. Donkeys, burrows are such characters.
Me, too. 💜
Yes! What happened to Jingles???? 🤷🏽
Probably in the same way all mom donkeys deal with their babies becoming independent I would imagine.
It's a foal. A baby is a human. Grow up.
@@wolfthequarrelsome504 You are horrible. Grow up.
His cries were heart wrenching, he is precious. And so glad he had others.
You are wonderful people with huge hearts
7000 donkeys is a huge daycare, so to speak. What a perfect place that you have provided for them. 🐾🐾
How do they even keep track of one donkey and his progress?
Such a sweet boy and I love Jingles
Grazie bellissime persone !!!! ma gli asinelli , quanto ADORABILI sono !!!! intelligenti , sensibili..... cari !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💘
Thsnk you for caring for these sweet gentle creatures!!!❤️❤️❤️
Seeing humans helping give animals a great life makes my heart so happy.
i almost cried watching!!! So cute, bless him!!
Precious Creature
Ben is such a precious darling little love. I just love it that his unfortunate beginning, turned out to be a winning and happy future, blessed with lots and lots of human and animal love!
God bless the custodians of His little creations.
Dang, talk about getting your feels wrecked so early in the morning 😭
Hahaha, you right!
@clandestine2178 Yeah, offending people to show them what's "right". Great strategy to get people to listen. Shows who you truly are.
@clandestine2178 stop yourself. Just stop.
The little donkey is so precious ❤❤❤❤❤
I just love donkeys what a wonderful sanctuary ❤
Nothing more uplifting than to read a story about the caring of a lonesome little donkey and a happy life that resulted. I've always said those that care for the least among us are the best among us.
Well said Dennis!
You have a very kind and compassionate soul. The world needs more folks like you. Namaste. ❤️🙏
I don't see them as the "least" among us, but I guess you mean those who have the smallest chance of increasing our monetary assets. I actually think these donkeys have life figured out way better than most humans do.
Apparently you join the best among us as well. The very best to you. It takes agood hearted person to post such a kind reply.
You bet it does!
What a lovely cheeky chappy.
Hooray for Jingles! What a good girl . She not only made Ben's life good she likely saved it! Social animals they are. Great job to this sanctuary too such good hearted people.
Poor baby Ben I’m happy he got the life he deserved
Watching a terrified baby gain trust and confidence has to be one of the most rewarding things in a million lifetimes ❤ I'm sure that's what all of the lovely people at the sanctuary felt the first time he nuzzled them and his new mom
Priceless.
Yay for Ben…my heart sunk when I heard his mother rejected him! 🥺 By the end of the video the tears welled up in an expression of JOY! 🎉👏👏😅
I'm so happy that I support this wonderful charity-Lovely little Ben!x
What a beautiful looking donkey! Gorgeous boy! 😍 Agree with all the other comments ofc.. Heartbreaking hearing hin in the beginning the poor. He must have felt so scared and all alone. Imagine being born and not having your mother instantly holding you and feeding you? I'm so pleased he had a wonderful foster mum on hand (which would have been amazing for her too,) so he could grow up to be this level of happy and well adjusted. Bless his heart. And hats off to this sanctuary. 7000 donkeys. Wow. That's alot of hard work, not just in the day to day but also raising funds to keep the sanctuary going. Honestly, ppl such of these deserve actual medals. ❤
A real tear-jerker. Such a wonderful story that makes you feel good inside. Great sanctuary with great people.
There both so beautiful ❤❤
What a awesome sanctuary. God bless
