Donkey makes hospice patient’s 'wish come true'

A hospice has helped a resident's wish come true by arranging for a donkey to visit her.

St Margaret’s Hospice in Taunton put out an appeal for help after patient Jacquie said it was her dream to give a donkey a back scratch.

Britney the donkey‘s owner, Richard Norman responded and brought her in to meet Jacquie and other patients at the hospice.

The charity said the "out of this world…power of social media" had allowed them to find the donkey.
