Therapy donkey is a Christmas hit, Leicestershire, UK - 29 Nov 2018

She may only be six months old and stand just 27 inches high, but that isn't stopping little donkey Isla from bringing festive joy to hundreds of people this Christmas. And although she's only been working a few weeks, the miniature Mediterranean donkey is proving quite the little star when she visits care homes, hospitals and schools for cuddles and therapeutic care. Little Isla belongs to mum-of-two Sara Kelly, 48, who set up her own business Alfie the Therapy Horse, in Leicestershire, after seeing how interaction with animals can make a real difference to people's lives. "Miniature Mediterranean donkeys are quite hard to come by, but they are perfect for this kind of therapy work because they are just so placid," says Sara.
