I came across this story about Emma, the tiny donkey with a prosthetic leg, and just had to share. Typically when horses (or donkeys) break a leg, they have to be put down. In Emma’s case, she was born with a deformed leg.
Fortunately, her story has a happy ending. Because she’s a miniature donkey, she doesn’t weigh as much as a horse and a prosthetic leg could support her body weight.
I love donkeys in general, but mini ones are even better! And her poofy bangs in the second picture? So cute!
Here is Emma with her brand new leg:
