VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) – Law enforcement officers on Sunday were called to a Vista neighborhood to round up a pack of lost donkeys.

The San Diego Humane Society said 11 donkeys were spotted running loose near the intersection of Business Park Drive and Sycamore Avenue at around 2:30 p.m.

Sheriff’s deputies and the SDHS Law Enforcement team worked together to safely corral the donkeys into a parking lot until they were reunited with their owners.

SDHS officials said the donkeys ran away from a nearby ranch; SDHS officers are expected to follow up with the owners later this week to find out how the animals escaped.
