When barefoot running guru Christopher McDougall takes in a
neglected donkey, his aim is to get Sherman back to reasonable
health. But Sherman is ill-tempered, obstinate and uncooperative -
and it's clear his poor treatment has made him deeply fearful of
humans. Christopher knows that donkeys need a purpose - they are
working, pack animals - and so when he learns of the sport of Burro
Racing or running with donkeys, he sets out to give Sherman
something worth living for. With the aid of Christopher's menagerie
on his farm in rural Pennsylvania, his wife Mika and their friends
and neighbours including the local Amish population, Sherman begins
to build trust in Christopher. To give him a purpose, they start to
run together. But what Sherman gains in confidence and meaning is
something we all need: a connection with nature, the outdoors, with
movement. And as Christopher learns, the side benefits of exercise
and animal contact are surprising, helping with mental and physical
health in unexpected ways.
