Running with Sherman : the donkey with the heart of a hero / Christopher McDougall.
A heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America.
When Chris McDougall adopted a rescue donkey, he knew he'd need to heal not just Sherman's body, but his mind as well. The best way to soothe a donkey, it turns out, is to give it a job. Having heard about burro racing--where humans and donkeys run side-by-side--Chris decided he and Sherman would enter the World Championship in Colorado. In the course of Sherman's training, he enlisted the aid of Amish running clubs, high-spirited goats, other burro racers, members of the service animal community, and even a couple long-distance female truckers. The result was a shining example of the power of the human-animal connection.
