I'm feeling quite tired today - it was a long drive to meet a donkey called Tacita and I think we got a little lost too. I didn't mind though as I didn’t want to miss a thing - from the people cooking food at the side of the road, to the crazy traffic. Of course I was always looking out for any donkeys that were roaming outside their owner's houses or being used to carry goods.

It took four and a half hours to find Tacita and what a beautiful donkey she is who simply wanted to play.

Tacita survived against all odds. She was attacked by wild dogs which left her with a serious wound on her head resulting in her right ear being removed by Omar the vet. The saddest thing of all is that Tacita's mother died in the attack - if only we could save all the donkeys.

I was expecting one year old Tacita to be quite nervous after her ordeal but oh no!!!

Tacita is a cheeky little donkey who had great fun pulling at my camera strap, my coat and at one point I had to run and save my note pad which had all my work in!!!

I was pleased to see that a mare horse had taken Tacita under her wing and was acting as her mother. In fact Tacita was definitely acting as a child when we were leaving. She lay down in front of the gate so we couldn't leave and after a gentle beep of the van's horn she jumped up and peered into the van with her big brown eyes to say goodbye.
