Perry, the miniature donkey who inspired the character in DreamWorks' 'Shrek', sadly passed away at the age of 30 after a prolonged struggle with laminitis.
While Perry was used as a model for the animated Donkey character, he was described by handlers as 'light and gentleness and sweetness', contrasting with the character's playful antics.
Handlers noted Perry's health decline, with increasing pain causing him difficulty in moving, leading to the decision for euthanasia despite his enduring spirit.
Initially brought in to help calm polo ponies, Perry's early days involved playful nipping, which showcased his vivacious and spunky personality.
