Since they are small, and do not require as much feed as a horse or mule, they were mainly used as a pack animal here, too. We always see the pictures of gold prospectors with their faithful donkey coming along beside them. Most of the time, that donkey was their only companion for months at a time, so the donkey was well loved by the prospector, and cared for as well as possible.
