Last summer, word first spread that a severely injured wild donkey was roaming the desert near Fort Irwin. The burro, nicknamed Tripod due to his broken leg, soon captured the hearts of residents. Part folk hero, part social media star, here, he is truly the People's Burro. After months of struggle and against all odds, Tripod is on his way to a full recovery. In this episode, you'll hear his story firsthand from the determined group of biologists, veterinarians and community members who have done all they can to ensure he has a happy ending. And we'll wrap up with another story about the power of perseverance, checking in with local novelist Victoria Lafean for our community profile.
