Miniature Donkeys can be pets, companion animals and guardian animals. There are donkey shows like horse or dog shows worldwide. They are very smart (some will tell you their I.Q. is often higher than their human's.) They love to work and can be easily trained. They can pull carts, pack like llamas, attend parades, fairs and community events.  They are very easy to love and keep.  They are herd animals so they like to be with other donkeys or friends which is good because you will find that you can't have just one!
