Donkey Tails by Barnaby
Welcome to a bushveld rescue farm, narrated by the only one truly qualified to tell its story: Barnaby — donkey, self-appointed Head Delegate, Chief Security Officer, and deeply unwilling wearer of felt antlers.
When two humans arrive in a battered beige bakkie and convince themselves they're in charge, Barnaby opens a full official inquiry. What follows is a year of memos, mischief and unexpected miracles: a tiny pony who guards the farm like a giant, a circus donkey slowly learning to lift his head, a midnight rescue wrapped in blankets, a storm that dissolves every hierarchy, and a corporate efficiency expert who never stood a chance.
By turns laugh-out-loud funny and quietly devastating, The Donkey Tails is a love letter to rescue animals, stubborn hope, and the kind of family you build one open gate at a time.
The love is real. The gate latch situation is, regrettably, also real.
Inside this book:
- 21 short chapters and an epilogue, told entirely in Barnaby's voice
- Official Paddock Memoranda, straight from the Head Delegate's desk
