Guerreirinho was found laying on the side of the road by Stefanie Rodrigues and Zenith Gurgel, who frequently care for injured or abandoned animals they find in the area.
The poor donkey had three fractures to his legs, and had to lay on the couple’s floor until they could raise money for his corrective surgery.
During his recovery, Guerreirinho met a stray dog who’d been adopted by Rodrigues. The dog and donkey quickly became buddies, with the puppy comforting his new friend and sharing a few naps.
When most of us come across an injured animal, the first thing we want to do is reach out and help them. There are plenty of amazing sanctuaries and kind-hearted humans out there who are dedicated to ensuring that a traumatized animal gets all of the support they need to get better. But sometimes, the best animal nurses come in a non-human form!
This was the case for a four-month-old burro who was left for dead, with three broken legs, after a hit-and-run accident in Fortaleza, Brazil. Things were looking bleak for this sweet baby until he was discovered by local woman Zenith Gurgel. She named him “Guerreirinho” (translated to “little warrior”), took him back to her home, and began feeding him by hand.
