A man in Ohio captured hearts when he sang ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ to a rescued donkey named Ivy.
The couple owns a 67-acre farm in Ohio. When their kids moved out, they felt called to help animals in need. They started with one donkey they named Mister Donker Donks. That first rescue opened their hearts to more. Now they care for eight donkeys on their farm.
Dean treats these animals like family members. In the viral video, he sits in a chair with Ivy resting in his lap. He strokes her soft mane and begins to sing. His voice is gentle and loving as he adapts the classic song for his furry friend.
“Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high. There’s a donkey land that I heard of. Once in a lullaby,” Dean sings to Ivy. The donkey’s eyes show pure joy as she snuggles closer to him. The trust between them is clear.
The Fagans spend their days socializing with their donkeys. They help each animal feel safe and loved. Their farm has become a true sanctuary where broken animals can heal.
“A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Proverbs 12:10
