A Diocesan School for Girls learner displayed extraordinary bravery when she came to the aid of a donkey in distress during its labour.
Grahamstown, South Africa (20 September 2024) – Children’s genuine love and compassion for animals in their various shapes and sizes often shine through in their interactions.
The same can be said for Beth Sahd, a pupil at The Diocesan School for Girls (DSG), who displayed an extraordinary act of bravery and compassion.
Beth did not hesitate to help a donkey in labour and in great need of support.
Though often characterised as stubborn, donkeys are gentle in nature with a strong sense of loyalty and friendship that is similar to humans.
According to the school, Beth noticed a donkey in distress during labour and stepped in to help the mother deliver her foal.
The delivery was a heartwarming success, as an image of the donkey and her foal was shared online by the school, proving that the young high schooler has the makings of an animal hero.
“What an incredible young lady! Despite the challenges, she handled the situation with remarkable composure,” DSG shared.
