Because all animals are treated equally well at Gut Aiderbichl, pedigrees are unimportant. We do not attach any importance to breeding or breed, because we love all animals just as they are. But we have to make an exception for Crown Prince Rudolf. He is a representative of a donkey species that is on the verge of extinction. In the Habsburg Empire, the white animals with the blue eyes were considered lucky charms. But Rudolf is very modest. His best friend is the bourgeois Mario, and together they are the cheeky tank crackers of Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf. No stall door is safe from them - they open every one.

Donna | Donkey

This or something similar is how many animal stories begin for us: For health or age-related reasons, the owners can no longer look after their pet and have to give it up. The story is all the more surprising when the four-legged friend is still very young. It can often be concluded that an animal…
