Raffles grieved for his best friend Harry after he passed away suddenly at their home near Turriff, Aberdeenshire, where they lived with owners Rosie and Mike Dewhurst.
A grieving Scots donkey left traumatised by the death of his long-term companion has been given a new lease on life - in the form of 'escape artist' Bob.
And after setting up a separate space for new four-legged arrivals, and receiving specialist training, the pair were told a suitable companion for Raffles had been found. Bob was part of the resident herd at The Donkey Sanctuary Leeds, having been given up by his owners at the Appleby Fair in Cumbria for his own welfare after he kept escaping.

"Rosie and Mike have always put Raffles' welfare at the forefront of all their decisions, and after lots of discussions we were eventually able to find a perfect pairing with Bob.
