The boy’s anger began to show as the donkey continued to approach. While he tried to continue digging with a shovel, Roscoe, the Yubanks family pet, wouldn’t stop listening to him. This persistence ultimately interrupted the game, as the donkey not only stayed close to the boy but also persistently tried to enter his personal space.
Not only did the situation fail to calm down, but it turned into a tug-of-war between the child’s concentration and the donkey’s determination to be the centre of attention.
The recording shows how the child’s patience is tested.
The photo shows the little boy initially focused on digging a hole until Roscoe decides to get involved in his own way and starts demanding attention. The donkey then sits on the boy, who clearly protests but is unable to push him away. Interestingly, Roscoe does not seem annoyed, but rather enjoys the contact and has no intention of moving away.
Comments from internet users reflect their perception of the scene. One noted that ‘he doesn’t know personal space, but he’s very affectionate.’ Another joked about how the donkey was imposing himself on the boy: ‘Roscoe wants to be a lap dog.’ These reactions echo those who emphasise the animal’s gentleness despite his persistence.
The persistence with which he was called by name also prompted some amusing comments. One wrote: ‘Roscoe is like, “Why are you calling me? I’m right here!”’ Another humorously added that the animal’s name could sound like an order to leave: ‘I have a feeling his name is Ross, and everyone wants him to go away. Ross. Go away!’
There were also more enthusiastic responses, such as from a user who wrote, passionately stretching out the letters of his name. There were also those who pointed out a simple but telling detail: ‘I think he likes hearing his name.’ Thus, the donkey achieved what he had been striving for from the very beginning: to be the centre of attention, even though the little boy didn’t think it was the best idea.
