My name is Paddington. Originally born in Ireland, I have spent most of my life with my donkey friend Rupert, in Whitehaven, on the west coast of England.  When my owners passed away, their family wanted me to have a safe place to stay with lots of donkey friends, so I came to live at the centre, at the age of 20.  I am a very kind and friendly donkey.  Having lived at the centre now for over a year and a half, I have settled nicely into a daily routine.  Marie says I am an intelligent donkey and I let everyone know what I want and where I want to go.  I now walk sensibly on a lead rope and understands basic commands to stand and walk on.
