They\u2019re velcro pets and the lengths that they go to to stay by your side are so funny. Just take a look at a mini donkey that is just a teeny bit clingy with his humans. The animal doesn\u2019t want to leave them alone! Video of the donkey trying his best to run alongside the person is too funny. Yep, that\u2019s his bestie alright.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The mini donkey\u2019s mom, Amanda, had her camera on her to record her clingy donkey trying in vain to keep up with her. She had a shadow!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">We should all be lucky to have a pet that is as committed to us as this sweet guy was. He was single-minded in his devotion to his mom, which means not leaving her alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He really reminds me of Donkey from the <em>Shrek<\/em> movies. Remember how friendly he was? He wouldn\u2019t leave poor Shrek! Maybe there\u2019s a reason why they made Donkey just a little needy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Related: Baby Donkey&#8217;s First Roll in Dirt Is the Stuff Dreams Are Made Of<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Amanda was driving right next to the mini donkey when the animal pulled up next to her. He followed along no matter how far she went.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other people could also see the <em>Shrek<\/em>-vibes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThese videos are making me realize how great <em>Shrek<\/em> did a characterizing Donkey,\u201d joked one person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIf he\u2019s not in the live action, I don\u2019t want it,\u201d someone else teased.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThat&#8217;ll do, Donkey. That&#8217;ll do,\u201d another person added, quoting the movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe side shuffle has me cackling,\u201d one commenter added.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Donkeys Are Social Animals<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It should be no surprise that donkeys don\u2019t exactly like being <a href=\"https:\/\/donkeyrescue.org\/news\/pvdr-ears\/why-donkeys-need-to-live-with-other-donkeys\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:alone;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">alone<\/a>. They aren\u2019t solitary animals! Donkeys are incredibly social creatures. They need others around to be happy. It\u2019s even possible for a donkey to get depressed if they\u2019re all alone. So it\u2019s very important to make sure your donkey always has a friend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Of course, your company will always be appreciated. But if you\u2019re planning on getting a donkey, make sure you get two!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/dog-face\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc36;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc36<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/newsletters\/parade-pets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/paw-prints\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally published by <a href=\"https:\/\/pethelpful.com\/pet-news\/clingy-donkey-wont-stop-following-mom\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:PetHelpful;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">PetHelpful<\/a> on Feb 5, 2026, where it first appeared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/pethelpful.com\/pet-news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Pet News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Pet News<\/a> section.
