In the same family as horses and zebras, donkeys seem to get the short end of the stick when it comes to grace and majesty. Sturdy creatures, they are raised on farms around the world. First domesticated over 5,000 years ago, they’re relied upon in every corner of the globe. Each species of donkey has an elastic idea of its limitations – unlike species of sharks who don’t interbreed, or species of big cats that only do so under human intervention, donkeys breed willingly (in the wild and in captivity) within different species of Equus … and that’s not just with other donkey species!

Sergeant Stubby

In 1917, bull terriers had no place in the war. Mascots were limited to sports teams and service dogs were limited to the police force. Strict regulations forbade animals from living on military grounds. It’s for these reasons that no one would have expected a stray mongrel to end up becoming one of the most decorated soldiers who served in the First World War.
