Out of concern for both the donkey and drivers, Corporal Smith made his way to the area to check on the donkey.
He was able to find the animal sporting a face mask to keep from catching COVID-19 and get him back to his owner safely.
“It’s not every day you get a call for a donkey walking in the road with a mask on, but we keep Corporal Smith around just in case,” the department quipped in a Facebook post.
