Donkeys

I thought a donkey was tiny compared to a horse but I was wrong .
I was scared the donkeys because I have nearly been kicked by one .I have never been very close to a donkey before.The donkeys live in a sanctuary.A sanctuary is a place where they look after animals that have been neglected or abused.
