On a drizzly day in September 2009 we visited the SPCA in Grassy Park. We were looking for ‘something’ for in our garden and had some chickens or maybe a small goat in mind. But when we saw this white Donkey, we immediately fell in love.
They had picked him up by the side of the road a few days earlier after he got hit by a car, leaving a gap wound in his side so big you could stick a melon in there. Also his head was full of scars, sad remains of his previous life as a cart animal no doubt with lots of beatings and abuse.
They couldn’t give us any guarantee at the SPCA that he was going to recover, but we decided then and there that we would provide a loving home in case he did. Two weeks later we received a phone call that he was feeling much better and his wound was nicely healing. Bram started right away building a stable and some fencing.
Since Monday, Oscar stands happily grazing in the garden. Welcome to the family!
