Adorable Photos Of Little Donkeys That Break Their Stubborn Stereotypes

When you hear the phrase "adorable animal," household pets like kittens and puppies often come to mind; however, there's one animal that happens to be just as adorable, one that we don't often think of—donkeys!

It's too cute for words!

To honor this charming creature in all its glory, we've picked out a few snapshots that highlight just how darling donkeys can be.
