Adopted Donkey can’t Stop Wagging Tail like a Dog when Seeing his New Father

That’s Walter and he also the Mayor of Oatman Arizona. Walter is so adorable!!

You typically think of dogs and cats when someone mentions a pet, but you’ve probably never heard the phrase “donkeys are man’s friend.” since it is uncommon to keep these creatures as pets.

But the actual definition of love is not found in the species but rather in the realization that the bond of friendship and commitment that exists between a person and his pet is sufficient. Because of this, a man and a donkey became friends!

Little Walter was adopted by a family in Oatman, Arizona, where he grew up among his brothers and three German Shepherds while also picking up a lot of knowledge.

Walter was a baby when Kelly and Brad Blake took him into their home in Oatman, Arizona. “We have wild burros that roam the town,” Brad Blake told The Dodo.

“Walter’s mama rejected him because she was too young. The Bureau of Land Management and town locals tried for 10 hours to get Walter’s mama to take to him. Nothing was working, so we were called and asked if we would like to adopt him. Of course, we said yes!”

It didn’t take long for Walter to adjust to his new normal. The moment they showed him affection, Walter connected to his new parents on a deeper level — especially his dad.

He gets things from them, which is why he acts like a dog. It’s quite difficult to believe this.

Walter quickly became accustomed to his new home life with his parents and animal siblings. He started to act more and more like his German shepherd siblings right away he was adopted into the family, including waving his tail in excitement and resting and enjoying himself just like them, he even jumped on his father’s head.

Brad Blake, Walter’s human father, said, “We never imagined how Walter would change our lives for the better!”

The partnership built on love and devotion has strongly developed. The donkey is overjoyed when he receives love that he never imagined he would.

Such a wonderful thing to see him so happy , just keep him happy always and keep him with you because he must love you so much to be happy.

As soon as Walter sees his dad, he comes running, hopping up and down in excitement. He nuzzles his dad, wagging his tail happily.

“Walter acts as though he is a dog,” Blake said. “He wags his tail and gets excited when we come home. He hops and brushes his body against me to love on him. He even lays on the couch next to me for naps.” 

“Every night we all go on our walk into the desert for exercise and Walter runs around with our shepherds as though he is one of the pack,” he added.

Walter is constantly giving back to the local community by working with a number of charities, as well as volunteering as an emotional support donkey.

His parents keep his devoted Facebook fans up-to-date on his daily adventures and love how much attention Walter has brought to their little town.

“We never imagined how much Walter would change our lives for the better,” Blake said.
