两个月大小毛驴丢失 警方合力找回
两个月大小毛驴丢失 警方合力找回

A stolen baby donkey, Moon, has been safely returned to her happy family on their farm, bringing an end to days of pain and uncertainty.

Moon, who is only 2 months old, was still feeding from her mother Astra when she was taken. The farm describes the mother as “upset” by her disappearance. A Facebook post from the farm was shared thousands of times. They wanted to let more people help find it. After two-week community searches, Moon was found at an address in Buckinghamshire and returned to Miller’s Ark Animals in Hook, Hampshire.

The farm said they were “beyond excited” that Moon was returned to her mother Astra. “Yesterday evening we travelled to Buckinghamshire, got in touch with Thames Valley Police and have recovered little Moon,” they wrote on Facebook. “We are beyond excited and Mum and Moon are finally back together. Moon appears to be in good health, thank God, and we will make sure that Moon and her mum Astra get lots of love and care as they meet each other again.

Sgt. Stuart Ross said the police had received “lots of calls and online reports”. “We have put a lot of hard work and energy into finding Moon, so we are very happy about this result,” he said.
