Imagine meeting a donkey on vacation and accidentally starting a decade-long friendship! Jess Taylor may spend her days selling real estate on a hit Netflix show, but for the past 10 years, every trip to Mallorca has included a visit to the same donkey. She tells Dodo editor Brielle how climbing through shrubs and over walls to meet him turned into a decade-long tradition, and why no trip to the island feels complete without seeing him.

00:08This story is so funny and unexpected.
00:12If you wanted to kind of give an introduction, why you might be familiar.
00:16My name is Jess Taylor, and you might know me from Netflix, Owning Manhattan.
00:20Yeah, of course we do. Great show.
00:24Thanks.
00:25Why don't you just tell me where and when you first met Donkey?
00:30We have a house in Spain that we've been going to for, my parents built it before I was born
00:34in Mallorca.
00:35And one day I was sitting by the pool and I heard this like raying noise.
00:40To my dad, I was like, I think there's a donkey nearby.
00:43He was like, you're not going to find it because it's quite flat around us.
00:46But I was determined.
00:47I was like climbing over all these like shrubbery walls that built out of stone there.
00:53And then eventually this head appeared.
00:57Hi, boy.
00:58Hi.
01:01I found the donkey.
01:04How you doing?
01:06He is very coy.
01:08He plays hard to get.
01:10It's Cammy.
01:11Come here, come here.
01:12Come here.
01:14Donkey.
01:15He teases you a bit.
01:17I love it.
01:18I love it.
01:18He's still there and every year we go down and see him.
01:24I would love Donkey to have a friend, but unfortunately he's not my pet.
01:27So as much as I've asked my dad to just drop a goat at the neighbor's door, we don't know
01:32them.
01:32But since he has so many visitors, I'm sure he's also doing fine.
01:35Yes.
01:38I've always loved animals.
01:40My parents wouldn't let me have a dog as a kid, but we did have llamas and cats.
01:45If I'm lucky enough to have enough money that I could have space, I'd love to have donkeys and horses.
01:49Like, no animal would be off-limits as long as they had the resources.
01:53And I think we could learn a lot about compassion and humanity through animals.
