I almost cried along with little Ben crying for his mommy. I am glad he is happy now.
Me too
А что случилосьс его мамой, извините, я этот язык не понимаю.
❤❤❤❤
Yeah the noise he made was heart wrenching.
Me too!! I love these beautiful animals
I have such a soft spot for donkeys. They're adorable to me. They're intelligent and have the goofiest personalities with the perfect amount of stubbornness. So underrated!
I love em too
That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺
His whimpering in the beginning made me want to hug him😔, I'm Glad he got comfort and support in abundance 💖💞❤😊
Me too. If they don't want to do something, they might have a very reason... You should listen to them
they're so fluffy
I love all animals!❤... even if i still eating meat.... But why would that be an impediment to me to LOVE animals?
Im so happy u found a surrogate mommy to take care of him! I love all the videos from Dodo! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Lovely story. Many, many thanks to the donkey santuary for looking after all those dear souls and getting Ben through the tough times! Much love!
I've done my internship at a Donkey Sanctuary.
Donkeys are such amazing creatures.
My heart bleeds listening to his cries
Wow how fun.
Thank you for doing your bit
If you ever want to travel there is a donkey rescue on Crete, in Greece. Run by a Greek man and his New Zealand wife.
They take in donkeys worked until they are broken, send farriers and vets out to overworked and neglected donkeys. In many ways, many of the country Greek people are dark age. No empathy. But the younger people are slowly improving. But if anyone does go to Crete on holiday, do visit. Bring them a bucket of apples, a bale of lucerne hay, a bag of horse nuts.
For all the people who love and take care of animals, thank you!
She’s so happy to have him. What a joyful outcome.
Poor baby! I'm so glad that he got the loving care that he needed and that Jingles came into Ben's life! 💕💕💕
It’s sad when a mare rejects her foal (especially with a cry like that. Seriously, I’m not even his species and I wanted to immediately take care of him) but it’s always a relief when a mum can be introduced and teach them the ins and outs of being what they are.
I never would have known you're not a Donkey had you not said it.
@
Psychologymajor PTSD The only reason the mother donkey rejected her baby was because she assumed he was going to be taken away like all the others had been on the farm. This also happens to all the cows on dairy farms eventually, they learn to protect themselves from heartbreak.
@@stevenperdue996 lol
@Harvey PlantHarvester
He was her first foal so I don’t know why would you think that.
@@harveyplantharvester1502 you like making stuff up?
Oh my goodness. He is so adorable
Glad he found a mom who accepted him.❤️
Such a heart warming story. I absolutely adore donkeys, they are just the best.
I agree with you
Poor fellow. Lucky for Ben that Jingles was around.
Why am I crying? Poor Ben, I’m glad he’s happy now ❤
Why are you asking us why you are crying? That makes no sense.
Every creature needs love and nurture, even when all grown up we need it so mjch that we bond and stay connected as long as we get that mirraculous food for our soul and body - love in all its forms! This is a marvelous story!!! So happy Ben is fine now and YOU made it happen! Bless you!
I hope Jingles is OK now that Ben is independent. She did such a great job. Kudos to Jingles, the forgotten hero?
I wondered about Jingles, too. Hope she found a companion to bond with.
Unfortunately she passed away from a broken heart after Ben was taken away from her. I guess it's true what they say. Every Donkey has its day.😢
@@stevenperdue996 Where did you read this?
@@stevenperdue996 yea ok. nice one
@@stevenperdue996 If you can't prove your bullshit, don't go spreading it.
That was a beautiful story. Every living creature needs a companion. 😘
I am crying now,it broke my heart what a beautiful little men 💔 you are all Angel's thank God there's people like you out there, thank you 💗 God bless you all 😅
Those first few moment broke my heart! So happy for the beautiful bond and for your sanctuary.
The first few seconds seeing him crying was a little heartbreaking. I'm glad such a sanctuary exists. Ben is sure looking good now
It was indeed...poor little boy
That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺
His whimpering in the beginning made me want to hug him😔, I'm Glad he got comfort and support in abundance 💖💞❤😊
Eeyup.
I'm glad to
Awww he found his bouncy bouncy bounce jumpy jumpy jump off everything and everyone back 😍🤗
The crying for his mamma nearly broke my heart. But Jingles was the best thing for him. So happy for Ben. 🐴
me too...my eyes are filling up. I wanted to care for him! So, So happy he found a companion
@@eileenmarievandiver7476 I feel the same way. I cried hearing him cry. That broke my heart. So glad he's okay now.💕
So incredibly glad this had a happy ending and you have taken in so many others like him in need..😍
All hail the Mighty Jingles
Ben is a sweetheart. So cute and I'm so glad there was a happy ending for little Ben. Thank you all for everything you did for this little guy.
Ben desperately needed a friend and a mom. Jingles needed a foal. They helped one another through a lonely time. I don't have the words to express how beautiful their bonding and mutual nurturing is.
So sad that Ben was rejected when he needed his mother the most. Thank you for all you dedicated help and assistance. You have nurtured him to happiness and being independent. Happy days and cannot forget your undivided care you give to these animals. 🙏♥️👍👌

Harvey PlantHavester 😢 It’s heartbreakingly true, although there is a small glimmer of hope being trialled up north and is producing fantastic results not just for Mother and Baby…
They stagger the pregnancies, when Mum has her Baby she is allowed to keep Him/Her allowing her to rest whilst baby has the vital colostrum….
She can then make a choice whether she goes to the milk parlour or declined…… Yes all the cows come and go from this high tech milking which detects which cow has come in, cleans the udder first, takes the milk then records everything… It is absolutely amazing to watch and will even detect a new Mum and goes through the motion, but not take her milk… The farmer was reluctant and sceptical but his daughter pushed him to have it… Not only has there been a significant change in the whole herd but it’s producing more milk… Everything that happens, happens when the cow decides it will happen.. The female calf’s will join the herd and the males are sold, but only when they come of age, although they are now considering keeping good quality males who can eventually start to make more babies….. This has to be the way forward with Animal Welfare coming before profit….. Maybe we will get it right, God Willing🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
@@Lottydon1649 God willing. 🙏🙂
A tough start to life down here BUT he was born in the ABSOLUTE BEST place for him to get over that hardship. Wonderful pair! Bless the substitute mom for opening her heart ❤️ and bless all the hard worker’s (caregiver’s) at the sanctuary 🕊.
What a beautiful boy! He’s SO fortunate to have had an adopted Mother to get him properly started in the world, and your work with him was terrific too~
All best wishes for you, Ben!!
Those cries were heartbreaking. 😢
Yeah, poor little fella, makes me want to sell his horrible mother to a glue factory for rejecting him
This is heartbreaking. She’s so cute.
❤
That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺

I don't think you actually watched the video.
Typical karens changing the gender
I love you. Wish there were more people like you.
He’s adorable, love his patchwork coat. Awesome rescuers , 🙏🏼
“He has great friends and Donkey companions”! This one statement says everything about these wonderful people and their care of these donkeys.☮️
Yeah, anyone that will put piggies to sleep in a bed, well, they are my kind of people!
It was sad seeing Ben cry out for his mother and not getting to be with her. He is as adorable as they get. Glad he's doing well and others are excepting him. Thank you to all of the people that work at this sanctuary for caring for these animals.
Guess the mother really wanted to be what a donkey is supposed to be all about.,
So glad he could imprint on a donkey and no longer the human. So glad he has a nice home and hope it isn't too overwhelming with 7000 to care for. WOW. Thank you for caring for them.
From a heartbreaking beginning to the perfect happily-ever-after story. So happy for him!
Awww... So 😢 he was so adorable, how could anyone reject this boy. Show's that family isn't by blood only.
That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺

Love is family :)
She rejected him?.....Bad Mommy
@@rohypnotist6263 What a stupid comment!
@@mariarey7534 Thanks !
It tears my heart to hear that little guy crying for his mother.
Truly! That Donkey Cry really cuts to the heart.
Sadly like many human mothers using that term lightly, they don't have the heart to love a child which is why many kill them before born with abortion
@@lance9249 Not true its worst when they have them full term and still abandon them or get rid of them.
@@lance9249 You know nothing of the suffering women who decide for abortion go through.
@@lance9249 or can’t afford to raise them 🤷♂️. Animals don’t get abortion while a human has a choice to abort a fetus
His cries were heart wrenching, he is precious. And so glad he had others.
Hooray for Jingles! What a good girl . She not only made Ben's life good she likely saved it! Social animals they are. Great job to this sanctuary too such good hearted people.
Awww I'm happy he got a foster mum! Rather than just being brought up by humans, which wouldn't have been able to teach him in the same way as a fellow donkey would.
It was so nice to see him happily running around with Jingles :)
Thank you to everyone at the Donkey Sanctuary and everyone who has donated to them!
I'm glad Ben found a new mom!
Oh SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!❤❤❤🐎 And May God Bless You All For Being Soooooo Kind AMEN!!!!!!!🐎❤❤❤❤❤
I just wish there were more people like all of you in this world!
That poor baby wanted comfort, I'm glad he got it 🥺
His whimpering in the beginning made me want to hug him😔, I'm Glad he got comfort and support in abundance 💖💞❤😊
Poor little guy, animals are just like humans. When they're babies they need to be cared for, they are defenseless. Thank God for people that care. God bless you all.
🙏❤️🙏 Amen 🙏❤️🙏
🙏Amen
no animal are not just like human...
@@topherdaniel sometimes even BETTER than humans.....
@@topherdaniel even baby animals behave better than most children wtf
What a beautiful story they are such a pretty animal I love when people care enough about nature and help them along in difficult times he definitely grew to be a very handsome fellow
I felt so sad when he was crying for his mom! He’s a beautiful baby donkey! I’m happy he found another mom
Ben is such a precious darling little love. I just love it that his unfortunate beginning, turned out to be a winning and happy future, blessed with lots and lots of human and animal love!
Dang, talk about getting your feels wrecked so early in the morning 😭
Hahaha, you right!
@clandestine2178 Yeah, offending people to show them what's "right". Great strategy to get people to listen. Shows who you truly are.
@clandestine2178 stop yourself. Just stop.
You did an amazing job with that poor baby. You're real angels. Thanks
I'm so happy that I support this wonderful charity-Lovely little Ben!x
Way to go Ben!! It was heartbreaking to hear his cries for his mommy. I’m so happy that everything turned around for him with his new mom and he grew up strong and healthy and happy.
Such a sweet boy and I love Jingles
Donkeys are one of my favorite animals! They are so unique, hilarious, and adorable 💕 I can’t wait to have donkeys running around on my farm!! 🤣
Hello Jenin......
Hello pretty, how are you doing today?
Beautiful god bless.
I've never seen a donkey so unique with such beautiful fur! Ben we love you and are so happy that you found your new mommy!
This is sad and adorable
I Absolutely LOVE Donkeys ...
Such a happy time for him from the cruel start he had with his mums rejection. Praise God for the help in his life. 😊
Omggg he’s so cute and snuggly I wanna take him in and cuddle him forever!!!
What a handsome boy he grew up to be, with a wonderfully loving attitude
Donkeys are so understandably underrated. Cheeky little creatures. Constant entertainment and so very loving if raised well.
What a sweet, heartwarming story. With all the grief and heartbreak in the world today, this was truly refreshing.
Hearing him crying for his mommy really broke my heart and i almost cried with him.
I’m glad that everything turned out so good for him ❤️❤️❤️
What a lovely cheeky chappy.
I absolutely adore donkeys; they're so cute and intelligent, with the goofiest personalities and just the right amount of stubbornness. They're truly underrated!
I wish more was said about Jingles and how things went for her after he weaned and matured away from being the baby. They're so precious. Donkeys, burrows are such characters.
Me, too. 💜
Yes! What happened to Jingles???? 🤷🏽
Probably in the same way all mom donkeys deal with their babies becoming independent I would imagine.
It's a foal. A baby is a human.
Grow up.
@@wolfthequarrelsome504 You are horrible. Grow up.
What a beautiful looking donkey! Gorgeous boy! 😍
Agree with all the other comments ofc.. Heartbreaking hearing hin in the beginning the poor. He must have felt so scared and all alone. Imagine being born and not having your mother instantly holding you and feeding you?
I'm so pleased he had a wonderful foster mum on hand (which would have been amazing for her too,) so he could grow up to be this level of happy and well adjusted.
Bless his heart.
And hats off to this sanctuary. 7000 donkeys. Wow. That's alot of hard work, not just in the day to day but also raising funds to keep the sanctuary going.
Honestly, ppl such of these deserve actual medals. ❤
Beautiful story ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Ben has grown up to be a beautiful donkey and you guys did great
adorable
i almost cried watching!!! So cute, bless him!!
Oh my goodness….to hear that poor baby cry for his mom was heartbreaking ❤️🩹
Little Ben, you're loved baby!!!!! God Bless you all!!!! Thankyou 💗
This story has blown every fuse in my "adorable" circuits.
i love your comment :)
7000 donkeys is a huge daycare, so to speak. What a perfect place that you have provided for them. 🐾🐾
How do they even keep track of one donkey and his progress?
7,000 Donkeys ,truly amazing ❤
How absolute wonderful that you can have this sanctuary! I think donkeys often are underestimated.
WHAT A SWEET AND TOUCHING VIDEO! GLAD HE'S DOING WELL!😇🐴
It's encouraging to see caring people and nurturing animals taking such good care of these orphaned creatures so they can live happy, meaningful lives.
I lost it crying when Ben couldn't find his mommy.......how delicate, cruel,,comforting and joyous this carisal od life......hug whoever you next to....😇😇😇🌟✨🙏🙏💔🏵️💮🌸🪷🌷🌺🌹💐🪻🌻🍁🌚🌝🌞🌞🌞🌞
Donkeys like Goats have comical personalities good for the soul...
No baby should be without love and affection. Snuggling, warmth the feeling of being loved! So cute
Beeeeeeeen ! 💙
Thanks!!!❤ so much for the help to that beautiful little donkey GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙌🙏🙏🙏😍❤
Nothing more uplifting than to read a story about the caring of a lonesome little donkey and a happy life that resulted. I've always said those that care for the least among us are the best among us.
Well said Dennis!
You have a very kind and compassionate soul. The world needs more folks like you. Namaste. ❤️🙏
I don't see them as the "least" among us, but I guess you mean those who have the smallest chance of increasing our monetary assets. I actually think these donkeys have life figured out way better than most humans do.
Apparently you join the best among us as well. The very best to you. It takes agood hearted person to post such a kind reply.
You bet it does!
Bless them all at the donkey sanctuary for what they do
God will bless you big time for taking care of these donkeys thank you❤
I CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO.... SORRY, I CAN'T STOP. BEN, YOU ARE A BIG BOY NOW. GOD BLESS YOU, LITTLE BROTHER OF MINE. MARGARET 3-18-22
He’s such a cutie!! Yay that he met such a good friend.
I'm so happy for you sweet baby
Yay for Ben…my heart sunk when I heard his mother rejected him! 🥺 By the end of the video the tears welled up in an expression of JOY! 🎉👏👏😅
Precious Creature
"He didn't know who he was' That's so telling about human psychology too.
I’m so happy for this adorable baby donkey. Just like us humans we all do better when we are nurtured by our mommies.
who are you?
Unwanted children are a lot like Ben.
@@ganymeade5151 So true its actually worst in humans emotional psychological trauma many never heal even as adults.
Aww poor little dude
Glad he found a new mommy 🧡
I would buy tickets to hang out there for a day. 7,000 donkeys! Never a dull moment
HE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART,I LOVE HIM TO ❤ 💕 MUCH.
My heart was breaking hearing Ben cry for his momma, but i was so happy that you had Jingles there to guide him.. God bless this little guy!! He looks absolutely amazing and so happy!! So happy that this sanctuary existed so that he had a second chance to know what love is.
Watching a terrified baby gain trust and confidence has to be one of the most rewarding things in a million lifetimes ❤ I'm sure that's what all of the lovely people at the sanctuary felt the first time he nuzzled them and his new mom
Priceless.
We miss our two boys. They gave us so much joy over 25 years.
I would have cuddled that little donkey day and night!!! I'm glad Jingles realized how sweet he is and now he doesn't have to cry anymore.
