In this day and age, it’s almost absurd that anyone would believe animals lack emotion. Yet, if ever a skeptic still existed, this video would certainly make them think twice.
After a number of neglected animals were confiscated from a local woman’s property, two of the animals – a goat and a burro – were taken to farm sanctuaries, one of which was Animal Place, located in Grass Valley, Calif.
Since Animal Place and the other participating sanctuary could only take in one animal each, Mr. G the goat went to Animal Place while Jellybean the burro travelled miles away.
Unknown to either sanctuary was the deep bond that had developed between Mr. G and Jellybean over the 10 years they had lived together.
Once Animal Place brought Mr. G home, he refused to eat for six days straight and “spent his days lying in a corner of his stall, barely lifting his head,” Animal Place reports.
The sanctuary tried all they could to get Mr. G to eat, yet nothing worked, and he remained depressed.
Eventually they realized that they must reunite Mr. G and Jellybean and an Animal Place team member drove 14 hours roundtrip to bring Jellybean in.
To witness Mr. G and Jellybean’s heartwarming reunion, hit “play” on the video above!

Thank you for taking the time to document this by video & edit it in such a touching way. It is SO IMPORTANT that humanity finally understand that animal kind experiences emotion equal to what humans experience. The day the majority of human kind understands this, the horrors of animal abuse, neglect, animal testing, factory farming, fur harvesting must end. All these things become UNACCEPTABLE to any decent hearted human who fully understands what lives in an animals soul. We are getting there, very slowly, but we are making progress. Sharing things like this helps.
beautieful loving story. made me cry for joy for them 2. how wonderful and god bless them peope who cared
They were together for ten (10 years and no one thought this would upset them and turn their world upside down? I find it hard to believe that animal rescuers could be so obtuse. Thank God, they were able to correct their mistake. Watching the video made me so sad and then so glad, but it was all so unnecessary to put the goat through that. No one talked about the burro\’s reaction.
