Biscuit had been found abandoned by the Gardai on a housing estate in County Wicklow. He was malnourished and had painfully long feet. When our lorry driver, Eugene Butler, went to his rescue, the poor chap practically jumped into the lorry as if he wanted to be taken away from the terrible plight he was in.

He is currently being cared for at Welfare Officer Clem Ryan's holding base in County Waterford, where he is making a good recovery. His feet are being trimmed regularly, which makes walking easier for him. He's no longer a nervous donkey and in fact he has become quite a character – following Clem around in the mornings and pestering until he gets his bucket of breakfast. Biscuit is no longer facing a bleak future.
