London, England, August 28, 2008—Diana, a real donkey from the Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary, joins a pantomime donkey at a charity event staged to raise awareness about the plight of abused, neglected, and abandoned donkeys.

The event was hosted by Gift Republic, a specialty gift store, to encourage people to support sanctuaries through adopt-a-donkey programs. Diana, who was born at the sanctuary in 1997 to a rescued abandoned donkey, is one of the sanctuary's prized show donkeys.
