TEDDY THE DONKEY EARNS HIS KEEP

Teddy's Sicilian cousin hauling gabbagool

The steep hill that runs up through the village of Chalford in Gloucestershire, England is too much for lazy delivery drivers. But Teddy the donkey is unfazed by the climb. Every Saturday morning, while you're watching cartoons and gorging yourself on Froot Loops, Teddy is delivering food, newspapers and magazines, carried in two large baskets strung across his back.

Teddy used to give donkey rides in South Wales before his current gig. Despite the high insurance costs he must carry along with the groceries, Teddy makes it on donations from customers and fans. And he has companionship from his buddy Chester, described here as "smaller than Teddy and a rather ineffectual donkey." Ouch.
