Lost donkey hitches a ride with the police

Oklahoma police escort mini-donkey on the back seat

A lost miniature donkey has been rescued in style, getting to hitch a ride in the back of a police car this week.

Police were called after a member of the public found the donkey wandering in the road in the city of Norman, Oklahoma.

When officer Kyle Canaan responded to the call, he found the mini-donkey - nicknamed 'Squishy' - fitted perfectly on the backseat of his car.

Squishy was driven to the home of Robin Strader, the member of the public who found him, and he has since been reunited with his owner.
