Stranded donkey saved from rising flood waters in Kerry following Storm Desmond

A Kerry animal rescue charity rescued a stranded donkey from floodwaters yesterday - and ended up with a lovely story and a brilliant photo to boot.

Animal Heaven Animal Rescue received a call from a donkey’s owner Sunday after Storm Desmond blew the gate of his paddock in Killorglin. The animal then escaped and became stranded in floodwaters outside the town.
