Baby donkey falling asleep in dad’s arms

Animals are one of the most beautiful things in life. No matter what your preference is — be it dogs, cats, horses, elephants or anything else in the animal kingdom — it’s fair to say that our fellow animals make life interesting for us humans. Dawn Fagan describes herself as a “Detroit city girl,” but she couldn’t be happier with her new life in the country. She and her husband Dean are living the dream on their farm in Marengo, Ohio, where they care for miniature donkeys. 

They welcomed Ivy into their fold and quickly learned there’s nothing the foal loves more than the sound of Dean’s voice! Baby animals are some of the cutest things to exist, but a baby animal that’s also a miniature of its kind is something truly special. In this video, the world was lucky enough to witness this adorable miniature donkey. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call Dean a donkey whisperer. They all adore him! But he shares a particularly special bond with Ivy.

This might just be the cutest thing we’ve ever seen

The little one was just 10 days old when their relationship launched her into online stardom. That day, Dawn recorded her falling asleep in Dean’s arms as he softly sang Burt Bacharach’s “What The World Needs Now Is Love.” If you think that sounds cute, wait until you see the video, which features Ivy falling asleep and Gunner asking for hugs. He might be a newborn, but Gunner knows how to get his dad to keep giving him more hugs — by nudging his head toward him! Watch the video, it’s too adorable for words, our hearts are melting.

Even if some animals are not the domestic kind, they can still wind up being our pets and friends.
