In the picturesque town of Erin, Ontario, an hour west of Toronto, a unique love story is unfolding at Erin Hill Acres, a family-owned tourism farm. At the heart of this tale is Hank, a charming seven-year-old miniature donkey, who has captured the hearts of many.
Hank, with his lovable personality and massive heart, has become a beloved figure at Erin Hill Acres. Known for his love for kids and long walks, especially through the lavender fields, Hank has made quite an impression since joining the farm just two months ago.
The farm, which started as a humble tree farm, has evolved into a thriving tourism destination. It now boasts a variety of attractions, including animals, flower fields, tractor rides, a gift shop, and a kitchen. Alongside Hank, visitors can also meet goats, chickens, sheep, and highland cows.
Recently, Hank found himself in the spotlight as a substitute for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer when Rudolph was unwell. Dressed in a miniature Santa suit, Hank took the sleigh all around the world, a feat that has been fondly remembered by many.
Now, Hank is on a quest for love. Erin Hill Acres is actively searching for a female miniature donkey, known as a jenny, to join Hank both as a companion and a potential breeding partner. The farm has launched a public search, inviting eligible jennies to submit their profiles via Instagram, Facebook, or email, marked "Attention: Hank’s wife."

The response to Hank's online dating profile has been overwhelming, with messages pouring in from people all across Canada. The farm has even shared a satirical video featuring Hank's friends sharing their fond memories with him.
In addition to his endearing personality, Hank is described as having a great head of hair. He enjoys long walks, fat juicy carrots, gentle pets, and loving companionship. The farm is looking for a donkey of the same size range and between the ages of four and nine years old.
This heartwarming story of Hank's search for love has gained considerable traction, with tales of Hank's kindness and companionship spreading far and wide. One story even shares that Hank introduced a couple and was the best man at their wedding, and the godfather to their children.
