Donkeys have a keen sense of self-preservation and will not blindly follow commands if they sense danger. Donkeys are also gentle and social animals. They are known to form strong bonds with their human handlers and can be very affectionate and loyal companions. They have a calm and steady demeanor, making them well-suited for therapy work and as companion animals. In some cultures, donkeys hold religious and symbolic significance. In Christianity, donkeys are often associated with humility and service, as it is believed that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.
