Hey now. You say that like it was just some meaningless random conversation. That jackass is/was his new best friend. He just needs someone to draw him a map. Know anyone that can help?
There is nothing wrong with some dude talking to a random Donkey. Unless the dude thinks the Donkey is answering him. Then just back away slowly.
Careful going down that path next up is being a furby person (or whatever you call them) and then down into the depths of hell being a bronie....well ok not hell but Mom's basement for sure.
I talk to the donkeys a few times a day and trust me there is no missing it when they talk back to you.
there is a donkey about half a mile from my house. stupid wannabe horse starts yelling every night at 11PM . annoying as heck.
