O.K., i'm doing this. A goat and a donkey...




Depressed goat ends 6-day hunger strike after reunion with donkey BFF
The goat, Mr. G, and donkey, Jellybean, were seized along with dozens of dogs and other farm animals from the southern California home of an abusive animal hoarder earlier this year, KTVU-TV reports.

The creatures were taken to separate animal sanctuaries, and when Mr. G arrived at Animal Place in Grass Valley, Calif., the 10-year-old goat refused to eat or go outside and just lay in the corner of his stall for six days:


According to Animal Place, when Jellybean entered Mr. G’s stall, the goat "could not believe his eyes. In fact, he did a double-take! It was only when he smelled Jellybean’s unique scent that Mr. G realized the truth — his dearest friend had returned!"

Mr. G then "erupted from his prone position, snorting and inhaling Jellybean’s presence. He rushed after her into their outdoor pasture."

The pals are sharing a pen at the facility — and Mr. G is eating again.
