When Diesel the donkey ran away on a hike near his home outside Sacramento 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. “Finally we saw him,” Drewry told KOVR this month after the Instagram video began making headlines. Enter Max Fennell, a professional triathlete who occasionally hunts in wild California with a bow and arrow. Drewry suspects that, if the donkey Fennell spotted is indeed Diesel, he’s merely doing his donkey duty and protecting his deer friends.
