Mike the donkey in Killorglin, Ireland, was caught in floodwaters while hiking in a field hit by a sudden storm.
At that time, Mike's owner sought help from Paradise Animal Rescue (AHAR).
After spotting Mike struggling in the high water, AHAR quickly rescued him and brought him ashore. Despite the tense and difficult rescue process, little Mike the donkey kept a happy smile.
AHAR shared photos and videos of the process of bringing Mike back from the brink of death on their personal Facebook page, which received numerous positive comments from the online community.
