David and Angela Hohman who are residents of Cranberry Township called 911 to report to the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company on Friday that their donkey Jill fell into a frozen pond near their home. The volunteer firefighters received assistance from the Sewickley Fire Department, the Beaver Falls Fire Department, water rescue specialists from Butler County Team 300 and Cranberry Township EMS to rescue the donkey by use of a harness and a rope to get the donkey out of the frozen pond. When the donkey was rescued from the frozen pond, the donkey needed to be taken to the barn and treated by a veterinarian and given a warm blanket to warm her up due to her exposure to the cold elements. The good news is that Jill is expected is to make a full recovery. Link is upi.com/3931738086552 via @upi

What are these animals thinking walking on ice and falling through, I sure hope the donkey will soon be well again, Seems people just don't know how to take care of their animals,

I guess that some animal owners have been careless taking care of their animals.

I wonder how the donkey wandered into the pond, when it should have been kept in the barn, in this cold weather.

That is a good question why did the donkey wander into a frozen pond.

I am in agreement with you that the donkey came close to passing away in the cold weather.
