One bad donkey
A donkey is what's known as an F1 hybrid.
That is not to say they are related to race cars. 
The term means "filial 1" or first generation result of breeding 2 different parental types together. A mule is the result of a male donkey bred to a female horse.
A donkey is very well known as a guardian animal, you only need one in amongst a herd of other (even larger) animals to stop most predators dead in their tracks, usually literally so.
This is a perfect example of such behaviour.
I have neighbours, a really sweet old Scottish couple, who keep a small herd of sheep and have a donkey named Jack (what else would you call him?) who's job it is to protect the sheep. In the middle of the field is a small man-made (by me) knoll that resulted from the left-over dirt from digging a small pond. Jack rounds the sheep up on top of the knoll at the slightest hint of a coyote or other predator. I can hear him braying when he detects something on still nights when the windows are open.
Several times a month during the summer they call me at first light to come and dispose of Jack's latest victim for them.
To put it politely, theres not many times the victim doesn't show overwhelming evidence of it's loss of the fight. 
Best of luck.

Problem is though, when a gun goes off, it doesn't make your boots smell bad, the donkey, well that's a whole other story.
Of course, people will only look at you funny if they see you talking to donkey. Try talking to a gun and people come unhinged!!
Best of luck.

I suspect you're going to need more than that 'borrowed' twenty bucks to convince Kenneth to ride shotgun with you in that part of the world.

One bad donkey
Kenneth, years back when I was still in the Corps and stationed in your neck of the woods, I had reason to be at the local court house to testify on behalf of a couple of friends who had gotten into a bit of an altercation at the local watering hole.
After a few punches were swung a local fellow decided he didn't like his odds and so drew a gun and fired off a few rounds into the ceiling.
Needless to say, the fight ended rather quickly, and all but a few people ran out the door, leaving no other witnesses when the police arrived.
He claimed he had been jumped by my friends and that was why he was the only one who had gotten punched and thus had bruises.
It didn't look good for them (they were charged with assault) until one of them made a comment about the local fellows big chrome gun. At that point the local jumped to his feet and said something to the effect of "Aha, you're lying! My gun isn't chrome, SEE!!!" and proceeded to wave his gun around in front of everyone in court.
My friends cases were quickly dismissed as the local fellow was hauled off in handcuffs, all the while loudly protesting what was happening.
Best of luck.
