Mini-moke goes by bus! Ron Brewer knows all about donkeys
Mini-moke goes by bus! Ron Brewer knows all about donkeys. At Southall, Middlesex, where he has a home for retired mokes, he is called the Donkey Man. But Thimble, who was born just over a week ago to Twilight, one of Rons ex-seaside donkeys, surprised even him. For Thimble is the smallest donkey he has ever seen - only eighteen inches from hoof to eartips and weighing a mere 24lb. Shes so small that Ron was able to take her for a bus ride, as you can see in this picture. For shorter trips, Thimble fits comfortably into a dolls pram. August 1965 P011881

Mini-moke goes by bus! Ron Brewer knows all about donkeys. At Southall, Middlesex, where he has a home for retired mokes, he is called the Donkey Man. But Thimble, who was born just over a week ago to Twilight, one of Ron's ex-seaside donkeys, surprised even him. For Thimble is the smallest donkey he has ever seen - only eighteen inches from hoof to eartips and weighing a mere 24lb. She's so small that Ron was able to take her for a bus ride, as you can see in this picture. In this heartwarming snapshot captured in August 1965 by Mirrorpix, we witness an extraordinary bond between man and miniature donkey. Ron Brewer's affectionate relationship with his beloved animals shines through as he proudly showcases little Thimble on their unconventional outing. Thimble's petite size allows her to comfortably fit into a dolls pram for shorter trips around town. This adorable sight brings smiles not only to passersby but also highlights the incredible companionship shared between humans and animals. Ron Brewer's dedication towards caring for retired mokes at his Southall sanctuary demonstrates his unwavering commitment towards these gentle creatures. His nickname 'Donkey Man' aptly captures his expertise and love for these majestic beings. This timeless photograph encapsulates the joyous spirit of friendship across species boundaries while reminding us of the simple pleasures found in unexpected moments.
