From the time he was a young boy, Patrick Barrett spent much of his time around funny and friendly donkeys. His family ran a sanctuary for abandoned and abused donkeys in the small Irish village of Liscarroll. Patrick grew to love these animals and began learning to read their body language and communicate with them. When Patrick was of age, he shipped out with the Irish Army. After encountering the horrors of war, he returned home a broken man, sinking into the depths of PTSD and addictions. He thought he was beyond help, but he hadn't counted on the donkeys. Sanctuary is the remarkable true story of how faith turned this lost man's life around with the help of the donkeys.
