Time for a Palate Cleanse! Watch How Adorable Donkey Asks for Hugs From His Human

Every once in a while, it's important to pause and ignore politics in favor of something light-hearted.

This a palate cleanser for those of us who need a break from the endless stream of news, politics, and real life.

We're not sure where this is from, but it's making the rounds on social media and we thought you'd enjoy the cuteness of it.

When this donkey wants to hug his keeper, he comes to his shop, opens the door, & waits for him to let him in. Kindness makes our world beautiful, & every being wants to be loved. pic.twitter.com/D6wYiDUDB1

Awwwwww.

Donkeys can form strong bonds with other animals and humans and are social creatures.

Oh so sweet! 🥹

Very much so.

Donkeys are often disprespected, abused and overworked, which is shameful. Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue is a wonderful organization that rescues donkeys. Support them if you can. https://t.co/g4tviCIsW6

Exactly. That donkey sees his human as a member of the family.
