Arizona Department Of Public Safety officer Sergeant Roger Hansen showed a great heart of compassion for a male foal whose burro mom was hit by an auto on September 5 in Lake Pleasant Arizona. Sad to report that the female burro died in the accident. The foal who is around one day old survived the accident. Officer Hansen was able to take the baby burro to a burro and wild horse sanctuary after he was able to find a home for the foal who will now have an adoptive mom. The foal is now named Roger in honor of the trooper who rescued the male baby burro. Link is msn.com/en-us/news/oth...

Road accidents don't usually have a good outcome for large (or small) animals.

I'm so sorry to hear about the female burro. I'm glad the baby will be taken care of.
