A pet donkey that escaped his owners five years ago in California has been found “living his best life” with a herd of wild elk.
Terrie and Dave Drewry, of Auburn, are convinced the animal, filmed by a hiker earlier in June, is their pet “Diesel”.
The couple say they are relieved the animal is safe - and have decided to let him wander free with a new family as a “wild burro” .
Elk: This guy, uh, he wants to hang out with us. What do you think?
Donky: HI GUYS! I know a great place to get food! It’s across the big road but humans taught me how to get past it and -
Elk: You’re in!
