We've seen it a hundred times -- you stop for a chicken sandwich, and the next thing you know somebody has stolen your miniature donkey. That's what happened to the Prestons when they stopped for a bite at a Chick-Fil-A in Mesquite, Texas while waiting for a donkey breeder to show up. Upon being thoroughly chicken-sandwiched, they came back out to the parking lot to find that thieves, nay bandits, had made off with both their truck and their trailer, which contained their precious miniature donkey, Sunny.
Sunny is only 6 months old and needs a special diet and shelter, since he's too young to fend for himself. The Prestons suspect that Sunny and the trailer have both been dumped so their pickup could be stripped for parts.
What kind of accidental donkey thieves have hearts cold enough to withstand the sad eyes of a desperate baby donkey? The Prestons are offering a reward for the safe return of their donkey, no questions asked.

Although this is a sad story and I hope they get their little guy back safe and sound, he wouldn't need a "special diet". Burro's, just like horses start to eat grass, hay and grain when they're very young. At 6 months old he should have been weaned from his mother and eating normal burro/horse food. I haven't a clue what other sort of food they could be referring to other than maybe vitamin/mineral supplements and he could certainly survive without those as long as he has at least some grass to graze on and water to drink, same as any burro/horse, no matter the age.

i don't understand, why Sunny would be on a spical diet. how could someone get away with the whole nine yards. we are farmers, and when we stop, to eat, we park where we can watch everything. and if that can't be, then we go in one at a time, and someone is watching, the stock. did they leave there keys in the truck, and not lock truck up. we also tie our doors that way it takes longer to break into the stock, i do hope that Sunny does get back to them, as i know just how they feel, we have had, mini's stole from us out of fields,

If you had any pets you'd know he wasn't "just a donkey". My horse isn't "just a horse". He's part of the family.
As for a special diet....yes, if he's not yet weaned he should be. But he also could have a medical condition that requires special supplements, food, or meds. Not likely at 6 months but possible.
I'm at the point now where I'm ready to go back to the old west and just string up anyone that hurts kids or animals...leave 'em alive for the buzzards. Jail isn't punishment anymore it's Club Fed. And I'm in California.

kudos.
you know, 100s of children die in america every day, from starvation, illness, abuse.
where does a little donkey fit into the grand scheme of things?
not really news, is it? too bad, and all, but, really? a donkey with stomach trouble?

No, little one123297, the Texans aren't "marring" their cousins. Nor are they marrying them. How uneducated and provincial you sound! Ah, well! Honi soit qui mal y pense, as the French would say. Oh, yes. By the way, I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, speak 4 languages, am widely traveled, a published author, an artist, and I, for one, LOVE being a Texan.
I can also spell.

Mexican? Actually, most horse thiefs in Texas have proven to be white trailer-trash
who are going to cook up a tender burro at their tailgate cookout at the next stock-
car races. Most Mexicans in Texas are decendants of ancestors that have been
here for hundreds of years, long before the first white (or black) trash first showed
up to steal their land.
