That’s a great ending to a sad story! No one should feel of made to feel ashamed or embarrassed for saving a life no matter what kind of creature it is. Lake Powell people at thier best !

Update: We arrived to the San Juan on Saturday, August 31st, and beached our house boat across from the island. We noticed one donkey alive while two lie there dead. Each time we approached the island with our wake boat, she immediately came towards us with much curiosity. After much debate for the next 24 hours with the crew, we decided to save the last one standing! On September 1st, 2019, we were able to tie a rope around her and get her to the swim deck of our boat. After getting her to lie down on her side onto the swim deck, we drove her over to the main land and she was fed apples and lettuce with much joy. She was then reunited with the rest of the herd!

HOORAY! Oh, and her name is Sarah.. Feel free to bash us for "tampering" with wild life or not letting the circle of life take its course... but we couldn't sit there and watch this poor animal starve to death knowing we could help.

Thank you and just know that Sarah is now living her best life! #OperationSaveSarah

Good work. Thanks for your efforts.

Job well done! Such a feel good story to at least save one of the critters.
Did you actually see a herd on the shore?

Burros don’t herd. Hopefully it has enough strength to make it.
