Leo wags his tail when he’s in a good mood, loves to be stroked by human hands and also needs an atypical and heart-warming ritual.
But even if it sounds like it, the four-legged friend living in Goiânia, Brazil, is not a dog, but a little gray donkey!
A loving sleeping ritual
And it has very clear ideas about how it wants to be treated by its family: Leo the donkey likes to be rocked to sleep in the southern style – in the family’s own hammock, as Episch Interessant reports.
Every day, the children transport him to his swinging sleeping place, where he lets them rock him gently back and forth until his big, innocent eyes close with tiredness.
The rest of the family often stand around him too. After all, a little relaxation is not only good for animals..
Well-deserved rest
How lucky this curious pet is! His ancestors have served humans well for thousands of years, and now little Leo is turning the tables.
Who could resist this soft, fluffy fur and the blissful smile on his downy donkey lips? For the children and Leo, this joint ritual is clearly a win-win situation!
