Animal that was model for Donkey in 'Shrek' is ailing. Fans stepped in.
Briefly

Perry, a miniature donkey in California, served as the model for the famous Donkey character in 'Shrek'. Neighbors celebrated his 30th birthday with a grass-pellet cake. Volunteers and donations help cover $40,000 yearly medical costs.
Perry suffers from severe arthritis and equine Cushing's disease, April has diabetes and low thyroid disease, and Buddy has equine dental disease. They receive grooming, food, and medical care funded by the community.
