How Wister donkey and Safi a German shepherd form a close bond?

Wister, a donkey and Safi, a German shepherd forged a friendship on a ranch in Wyoming, USA, in the 1990s. the two would romp about, with the dog even teaching Wister to fetch a stick! If Safi did not appear, Wister would stand at the door and bray. If he accidentally kicked Safi during play, he would stand still as if to say sorry. Safi would jump up and nip his neck gently in acceptance!

They love to chase and nip each other. They share the same food bowl and take naps together.  Safi taught Wister to fetch a stick and carry it around. When Safi and her owner go on hikes, Wister follows them.  In the morning, Wister stands outside the house and brays until Safi comes out to play.
