It’s not that unusual for Michigan State Troopers in Holly Township to be on the hunt for missing animals. But even they were surprised when they were dispatched to find a miniature donkey on the loose. Dolly Parton (the donkey) took advantage of an open gate to her pasture and went on a little late-night winter adventure. Watch this video to see how she was found and returned home.
