Meet the donkey who thinks he’s a dog [Video]
- Kye the donkey spent most of his life with dogs that he now thinks he’s one of them.
- When Kye was abandoned by his mother after he was born, he was taken care at home by his human parents.
- Now, four-month-old Kye loves going for walkies, plays ball and responds to dog whistles.
A donkey named Kye behaves just like a dog.
He was abandoned by his mom after birth and was raised by a family with pet dogs. Now, the four-month-old responds to a whistle, fetches balls and even follows his human wherever he goes. Kye also loves lounging on the sofa and is used to wearing a diaper.
“He’s certainly a character,” owner John Nuttall said.
John owns a donkey-ride business in the U.K. He said Kye’s mother rejected him and became violent towards him. This prompted him and his partner, Gražina Pervenis to raise Kye themselves.
“I was lucky enough to be there when she was attacking him, and I managed to get him inside,” John added.
They initially tried feeding Kye milk from his abusive mother, but his health began to deteriorate, so the pair took the abandoned creature home and weaned him on formula.
For the next weeks, Kye was constantly around their pet dogs. He soon began to exhibit some canine characteristics.
“I would whistle to the dogs, and so he comes to a whistle. Now, if I get in my van to go out, he’ll see it going and chase after the van.”
He added that Kye “even started playing with a ball and everything, and now, I can go for a walk down the road, and he’ll follow me like a dog.”
He chills in the house in his plus-size diaper.
John hopes that one day Kye would join his fellow donkey in giving tourists rides on the beach.
But for now, he’s just grateful that Kye is getting healthier every day.
