The incident which occurred last week was witnessed by dozens of beachgoers as the fully grown animal was flying through the air allegedly distressed.
Many people have dubbed the donkey as the “flying donkey” in Russia.
According to officials, the donkey was part of a publicity stunt to lure in more customers for the private beach.
A police official later said that the donkey landed in the water and was pulled to shore.
One witness was heard saying the animal was screaming “in fear”, at the beach on the Sea of Azov in the Krasnodar region.
Regional police spokeswoman Larisa Tuchkova told AFP news agency “The donkey screamed and children cried, no-one had the brains to call the police.”
Many of the beachgoers and bystanders who saw the incident took photographs, video images and some were even reported to have called news agency’s to sell the footage and images of the flying donkey.
One Russian media outlet wrote last week “the donkey was put up so high into the sky that the children on the beach cried and asked their parents: ‘Why did they tie a doggy to a parachute?'”
The paper continued “The donkey landed in an atrocious manner: it was dragged several metres along the water, after which the animal was pulled out half-alive onto the shore.”

I still think that Donkey Jote or Donkey Joe (Don Quixote for Man of La Mancha fans) is clever but peahprs not enough folks would get the reference.How about Barnaby, Bernie, or Little Joe ? He looks like a Barnaby to me.He sure is cute and I have some cute pictures of him standing near the Big Girls in the corall on his 4th day there. It looked like one of the Belgians was also protecting him..
