It’s always fun seeing our furry friends be their adorable selves in their natural habitats and their homes. But it’s even better when we catch our animal friends out and about with their humans, especially when they’re doing unexpected things we normally wouldn’t see.<\/p>\n
A baby donkey is literally making people stop in their tracks in person and pause their scrolling on TikTok. Recently, @hallie_tnrealtor shared a video of baby donkey Penelope taking the most peaceful nap in a buggy while she shopped at farm supply store, Rural King. Once you press play, you’ll understand why people can’t look away.<\/p>\n

As the video shows, their human is doing some shopping. While doing that, this little donkey is comfortably resting inside of a shopping cart without a care in the world.<\/p>\n Not only that, the music playing in this video fits the situation perfectly. @hallie_tnrealtor chose Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song” for it. As this donkey is so relaxed, how could you pick anything else?<\/p>\n Related: Moment Gentle Giant Horse Meets Baby Mini Donkey for First Time Will Melt Any Heart<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Along with a calm demeanor, Penelope is also wearing Grinch pajamas. What shopper wouldn’t stop and stare at this little donkey?<\/p>\n People Fawn Over Donkey’s Unique Nap Spot<\/p>\n Viewers are so taken with Penelope’s ability to nap in the store. As of now, the video has more than 835K views on TikTok and over 68K comments. And people couldn’t stop making jokes about what their reactions would have been to seeing Penelope.<\/p>\n Commenter @jessicahalfast shared, “Girl, if I saw you in there … you’d have to fight me to keep me from tryna get in that cart with the baby.” To that, @hallie_tnrealtor joked back, “No fighting; climb in and cuddle up!”<\/p>\n “I’d be such a creeper following you around the store. Not sorry,” chimed in\u00a0@italiangirlsam76, and they weren’t the only one to say they’d be following after this pair.<\/p>\n Aside from the laughs people had, there was one question on everyone’s mind that @lizziez00 asked, “How many times do you get stopped?!”\u00a0@hallie_tnrealtor replied, “Lol. I\u2019ll put it this way, if I need to actually get real shopping done, she doesn\u2019t come! No one can believe what they are seeing.”<\/p>\n Running into a napping baby donkey in a store doesn’t happen every day. We’re just glad she decided to capture this moment. We’d bet Penelope can nap almost anywhere after this shopping trip!<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by PetHelpful<\/a> on Nov 18, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
