PRATTELN, Switzerland,- Swiss firefighters said they rescued a donkey found with its head and front legs sticking out the top of an uncovered manhole.
Basel Country firefighters said a passerby alerted emergency services Saturday when he spotted the 13-year-old donkey, Nilo, with its head and front legs sticking out of the top of an uncovered manhole at a playground in Pratteln.
Firefighters found the donkey's legs were stuck in the manhole's piping, but they were able to lift the animal out of its predicament without causing any serious injuries.
Police said the donkey incurred some "flesh wounds" but was able to rejoin its petting zoo.
Police spokesman Meinrad Stoeklin said the donkey was cooperative with rescuers.
"He was very cool," Stoeklin said.
Stoeklin said police are investigating why the manhole was uncovered.

Over the years we had three of these guys. One female, and two males. Lovely creatures. So full of love. We’re very happy this little guy was rescued.

Yes. THAT is what a Donkey is. Pure love. They love to play, but they don’t know how powerful they are, so one has to be careful. Hugger’s they be.
We miss our Donkeys. Would have more, but too old now to guarantee them a safe, comfortable home for life. Have to leave it to someone younger.
