In Palo Alto, California, a 30-year-old donkey named Perry was euthanized, serving as the inspiration for the talking donkey in the iconic Shrek animated film. This was reported by the administration of Barron Park Donkey, where the animal spent most of its life.

Perry suffered from laminitis, a painful inflammation of the hooves and feet. In recent weeks, he could only stand on three legs, enduring significant pain, which led to the decision to euthanize him.

The donkey arrived at Barron Park Donkey in 1997. It was there that one of the DreamWorks animators spotted him and drew inspiration for the characters of the upcoming film. Perry became the visual basis for the famous talking donkey, voiced by actor Eddie Murphy.

The story made Perry a beloved figure among park visitors, with many children and adults frequently visiting him. The donkey's life will be remembered by many due to his connection with the legendary character.
