A man adopts a donkey from "summary" of Running with Sherman by Christopher McDougall
It's not every day a man decides to bring a donkey into his life. But for Micah True, known as Caballo Blanco in the ultrarunning world, it was a choice he made without hesitation. Micah had a soft spot for animals, especially those in need of a second chance. So when he came across a donkey named Sherman at a livestock auction, he knew he had to rescue him. Sherman was in rough shape - malnourished, neglected, and in need of someone to show him love and care. Micah took Sherman under his wing, bringing him back to his farm in the mountains of Colorado. It wasn't an easy journey for either of them. Sherman was skittish and untrusting, having been mistreated in the past. But Micah was patient and kind, slowly earning Sherman's trust and affection. As time went on, Sherman became a beloved member of Micah's household. He was no ordinary donkey - he had a fiery spirit and a strong will to survive. Micah saw something special in Sherman, something that reminded him of himself. They formed a bond that went beyond words, a connection that only those who have experienced true companionship can understand. Micah had big dreams for Sherman. He wanted to train him to become an unlikely ultramarathon runner, to prove to the world that even a donkey could conquer the most grueling races. It was a bold and ambitious goal, but Micah believed in Sherman's potential. Together, they embarked on a journey that would test their physical and emotional strength, pushing them to their limits and beyond. The story of a man adopting a donkey may seem unusual at first glance, but in the world of Micah True and Sherman, it was a tale of resilience, determination, and the unbreakable bond between a man and his animal companion. Their journey together would inspire many, showing that with love, patience, and a little bit of courage, anything is possible.
