Why can a donkey go without water?
It can't but because it barely sweats (like a camel), it can survive for a day or so without water, whereas a horse will sweat copiously under the same conditions. This is because, like the camel, the donkey has evolved to live in a dry climate. A donkey should be given water ad lib at least once a day.

Sears definitely sold donkeys. In fact, a book was written called Simpson, The Last Sears Donkey by Lee Jones and Guy Gillette. I gives a charming account of the donkey's arrival and subsequesnt adventures. The book is long out of print and I have been trying to get a copy of it. I have seen it only once. For a book I am researching I pored through all of the Sears catalogs of the 1950's but never found a listing. Was it in a special catalog or supplement? That too I remember seeing only once as a child. mawinslow49@gmail.com
