Escaped Pet Donkey Found Thriving with Wild Elk After 5 Years
TL;DR
A pet donkey named Diesel, who escaped five years ago in California, has been found living happily with a herd of wild elk. Owners Terrie and Dave Drewry are relieved to see him healthy and have decided to let him remain free as a "wild burro." Diesel was last seen in 2019, and recent footage by a hiker confirmed his well-being. The Drewrys have since adopted new donkeys and do not plan to recapture Diesel.
