I recently read that a donkey will recognize another animal, a human or a place if he or she has not seen it for twenty-five years.

Dubbins the donkey had not seen Chet for over twenty-two years He clomped right up to him and gave a joyful excited bray Chet felt guilty for staying away from his parent’s farm this long He had forgotten how long a donkey’s memory is.

I hope this is true. When I go to Florida my niece's farm borders one with three donkeys, so I plan to check it out!

I think they will trot right up to you and say "Hey Hank! How are you?"
