A beloved donkey that lived in Heaton Park has died after a battle with disease. Lenny was diagnosed with an endocrine disease back in May and was receiving medical treatment.

Endocrine diseases are disorders that occur when a body cannot respond to hormones as it should. They can be common in companion animals like dogs or cats.

The 30-year-old donkey was visited by vets this weekend after staff noticed a change in his health. However, he was sadly pronounced dead.

Staff at Heaton Park Hall took to social media to alert fans of the heartbreaking news, with many taking to the comments to voice their condolences and share pictures of Lenny.
