(AP) An exasperated farmer has tried for weeks to corral his runaway donkey. He tried coaxing her. He tried tranquilizing her. He even tried using a horse whisperer. But Jenny the donkey has proven to be elusive, evading capture and enduring bitter cold during the past three weeks on the lam.
"This one here seems to outsmart everyone," Joe Varricchio, who runs the farm with his girlfriend, said Monday. "I guess she likes her freedom."

It's not easy catching a critter that doesn't want to be caught, Lewis said. "It's kind of like chasing a 700-pound rabbit," she said.

Hall brought along a male donkey, Jackson, in hopes that Jenny would amble into the corral for some company. It didn't happen.
"I've never had such a hard time getting a donkey a date in my life," he said.
