I drive to work and pass 5 burritos.................so I have to roll down the windows.................
We raised donkeys as pets for20 years. They will bond with anything. Our jack, Festus, bonded with the wife’s 60 or so Guinea fowl.
Absalom died after his hair got caught in the branches of an oak tree while he was riding on a mule (2 Samuel 18.9). Maybe if he had been riding a donkey his hair wouldn't have gotten caught.
One particular donkey was gifted with a great distinction:

Adorable!
One of my favorite burro stories of grandfather was when he was suddenly surrounded by a migration of tarantulas. They swarmed on both sides of his party and he built a circle of fire around himself and his wife and his burros and stayed there in the heat until the migration passed.
Another time he was bitten by a sidewinder and threw himself over the burro leader and was carried to a homestead with the burros all following the leader.
I have a photo of grandfather’s burro with my baby father on board with their white cat.
It looks like miniature donkey.
I don’t know, but there are videos of many donkeys expressing affection for their humans. They seem to like music...
Thank you for the kind words but it wasn’t a joke. I’ve got pictures.
I used to walk to University classes and pet cows on the way...

Sounds like something I would do and be late for class doing it.
They slobber, licking you; and when you finally get to class, there’s green stuff all over your clothes.
Good times.
