Mike is a donkey from Killorglin in Ireland.

He almost drowned when a river next to his field broke its banks and flooded stranding him in a ditch on Sunday.

But never fear, this story does have a happy ending!Animal Heaven Animal Rescuewere on hand and rescued Mike with nothing but a small dingy and an orange lifebouy.

Rescuer Suzanne Gibbons, who runs AHAR, said she only had one chance to rescue Mike due to the rapidly rising flood waters.

“At first I couldn’t find anybody willing to help me go in because the river was flooding really badly,” Suzanne said.

“But finally Mike Fleming of the Killorglin Rowing Club took me out and we managed to get a life ring around the donkey’s neck and drag him to safety.”

Now just look at that lovely grin! *swoons*

Mike is now recovering from his ordeal at Suzanne’s place…
