Tranquilizers, a luring date and even a horse whisperer have so far failed to persuade Jenny the donkey to make a comeback since she fled the corral, presumably in search for her lost love. Joe Varricchio, the co-owner of the farm called "Mary Gardens," bought Jenny from an auction thinking its presence in the farm would ward off predators like fox, coyotes and raccoons that have been snatching 50 to 60 hens a year. But his hopes were diluted when the freedom-minded equine eluded the farm just two weeks after and since then Varricchio's every effort to corral her have failed.
