Sherman the rescue donkey shares his owner's passion for running

When Chris McDougall rescued Sherman the donkey, he knew taking care of him would be no easy task. That’s when a friend stepped in to offer some advice. "She said, ‘Now look, you can’t just stick this donkey in a field with a bow on its tail,'' McDougall said. "'This animal’s been abandoned. It needs a sense of purpose. It needs a job.’ And my thought is, 'What job do you have for a donkey?' And I got this idea, like, ‘Well what if we just taught him to be my running partner?’" Sherman was used to being alone, but with some new friends and a lot of patience, he’s now a long-distance running donkey.
