Adorable Mini Donkey With Prosthetic Leg Is Loving Life

Not everyone wanted to give little Bella Burro a chance at life.

Two years ago, a couple near Minneapolis rescued the miniature donkey from a negligent breeder, where she had been separated from her mother at two months old and was significantly underweight. Bella had frostbite, which the vet told her new family was so severe they would have to amputate her leg.

Veterinarians recommended putting Bella to sleep, instead of operating.

“They really strongly wanted to put her down,” Ann, one of the donkey’s owners, told The Huffington Post. “Donkeys don’t have any value in society.”

But Ann knew Bella had value.
