Michigan State Police troopers were called to a home in Holly Township after a miniature donkey named “Dolly Parton” wandered away from her pasture Tuesday night.
Police said the donkey escaped through an open gate, prompting Metro North troopers to respond and help residents search the area.
Troopers canvassed the neighborhood and later located Dolly walking along a roadway in the township. She was returned to her owners unharmed.
“Troopers assigned to northern Oakland County often find themselves dispatched to locate missing animals in the area,” said F/Lt. Mike Shaw. “We have located Potato the lost dog, cows along I-75 and now Dolly the miniature donkey. When you join the Michigan State Police, you just don’t know where the day will take you!”

I’m so glad sweet Dolly is safe! I just heard a story about a blind pony named Pegasus fell in the snow and couldn’t get up, but rescuers were able to help her.
