A baby donkey that was stolen from a farm in Hook over two weeks ago has returned home.

Moon who is only a few months old was taken from Miller's Ark on Monday 15 May.

Staff at the farm were extremely concerned for the foal's welfare as she was still reliant on her mother's milk.

In a Facebook update on Thursday (1 June) Miller's Ark confirmed the wonderful news that Moon had been found:

"Yesterday evening we travelled to Buckinghamshire, liaised with Thames Valley Police and have recovered little Moon.

"We are beyond thrilled and Mum and foal are finally back together.

"Moon appears to be in good health, thank heaven, and we will make sure that Moon and her mum Astra get lots of love and care as they re discover each other.

"It is because of all of you, amazing people, who have supported Moon, Astra and the team at Miller’s Ark, sharing this story far and wide - and now you have brought her home."
