## Pet donkey spotted living with wild elk herd five years after his disappearance

Authored by edition.cnn.com

When Diesel the donkey ran away on a hike near his home outside Sacramento, California, five years ago, his owners assumed the worst.

“He’s not aggressive, he’s a lover,” Terrie Drewry told CNN affiliate KOVR in 2019, days after Diesel’s great escape.

Years passed without a sign of life from Diesel — until earlier this year, when a hunter spotted and filmed a herd of at least a dozen elk in the northern California wilderness.

Drewry is positive that the donkey in the hunter’s video is her Diesel.

On a hunting trip in March, Fennell stumbled upon the elk herd — and was stunned to see a donkey among them.

Drewry suspects that, if the donkey Fennell spotted is indeed Diesel, he’s merely doing his donkey duty and protecting his deer friends.

And the donkey in Fennell’s video appears to be thriving in the wilderness, with friends by his side. »
