This is the best summary I could come up with:
The video was taken earlier this year, when Max Fennell, a hunter in northern California, filmed a group of wild elk apparently hanging out with a donkey who appeared to be a member of their herd.
The short clip of the unusual scene rapidly spread across social media.
Now Terrie Drewry and her husband, Dave, have told CBS news that they are convinced the free-roaming burro is their missing pet Diesel, who had scarpered into the wilderness five years earlier.
The Drewrys revealed that Diesel had gone missing after getting scared on a trail while on a hiking trip with his human family.
They searched for him in vain, though a trail camera spotted him, and hoof prints showed that he was still alive.
Despite their joy, in seeing Diesel alive and apparently thriving as a want-to-be elk, they have no plans to try to capture him.
