"YOU are the inspiration for piñatas": Adorable misbehaving donkey has us in splits

Who says being a pet parent is not as rewarding, yet, at the same time, as difficult as raising a human child? Just like any human baby, animals also have an undeniably pure innocence that can transform any moment into an unforgettable memory. On a related note, Hayden Kristal (@haydenkristal) shared an adorable video capturing Dexter, a mischievous and playful donkey, captivating everyone with his hilarious antics. The now-popular Instagram video has gone viral on social media, surpassing 15 million views online. 

"Dexter is remarkably durable and I think it's because if he broke a leg, we would have to put him down and the devil will not take him back," Kristal said with a hint of sarcasm, sharing a sneak peek into her donkey's playful and hyper nature. Seemingly annoyed by Dexter's uncontrollable energy and activeness, Kristal warned him, "You belong in federal prison," as the ignorant donkey just casually crossed her without care much. From relentlessly irritating his fellow farm mates, chasing a dangerous spider, to even stealing Kristal's cap without any shame, Dexter seemed completely unstoppable.

"Dexter, let go of Donkey Devito, please," the content creator said, trying to rescue another donkey on the farm. Meanwhile, like a baby, Dexter was spotted trying his best to squeeze into Kristal's lap. Interestingly, even at night when it was completely dark, the donkey was seen at the top of his energy. Kristal revealed a glimpse of the security camera showing Dexter in action, caught up in some cheeky antics. "I am asking you respectfully not to do something stupid," the owner spoke, as the adorable donkey continued his attempts. "You cannot sit in my lap." The Instagram video received an overwhelming response on the platform, with viewers in stitches over Dexter and his humorous shenanigans.

Meanwhile, reacting to the video, @twistedtourist commented, "He’s that one kid we all knew in Kindergarten that made our teacher breathe deeply and look up at the sky." @gillgarcia wrote, "I need to know what cosmic being you pissed off in a past life for you to have both Dexter AND Cheese." On the other hand, @jessiefernandes, a dog parent, resonated with the video and wrote, "My dog was named Dexter and he was a troublemaker too! I have got love for a fellow Dexter." @edderenberger wrote, "My mini donkey runs off with whatever tool I'm using when I work on the barn. I will probably find my cordless drill sometime in the spring." @katweismarques commented, "'I’m asking you respectfully to not do something stupid,' is basically exactly what I’ve said to my children every single day how day this winter has been."

@victoriakristinadubois wrote, "The fact I can recite this clip from beginning to end should be a testament to how many times I’ve watched it." @ekzweiback wrote, "He’s just that much smarter than the rest of them! Give him some tasks to complete every day (maybe several times a day)- it’ll keep him busy and engaged instead of mischief." Reflecting on Kristal's sarcastic comments, @rose wrote, "I will be using “For what purpose? To what end?” In daily conversations now, particularly at work thank you!" Similarly, @natashalgregoire wrote, "He wants something to do! Pack animal needs something mentally challenging to do."
