Based on the true story of a wild burro named Pardo who was rescued from the mountains of Arizona and transported to southern New Mexico. Unfortunately, the family who rescued Pardo did not know how to care for or train him.

After a few weeks of love and attention, Pardo showed his real personality—he was smart and funny. When he got lonely, he would run to the front door and honk for somebody to come out and scratch his ears!
Read more about Pardo with those big, beautiful, shiny, white teeth to enjoy his burro thoughts and adventures with his many friends.
