Meet Mr G and Jellybean
This video and story of Mr G and Jellybean are sure to leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling. Or a tear. Or goosebumps. Any and all of those. Watch to see how this was a life-saving reunion. Enjoy!
Mr. G and Jellybean
Mr. G, the goat, and Jellybean, the burro were each rescued from the place where they had lived together for almost a decade – the property of a woman who could barely take care of herself, never mind the dozens of dogs she hoarded and three barnyard animals. Mr. G and Jellybean were each taken to different rescue adoption centers in order to save their lives.
It soon became apparent, however, that there was a problem. After arriving at the Animal Place’s Rescue Ranch adoption center, Mr. G, the goat, began to show signs of serious depression. Mr. G refused to eat and spent his days lying in a corner of his stall, barely lifting his head. Staff tried every treat – molasses, sweet grain, apples, wetting down food… but nothing worked.
Examinations showed nothing physically wrong. It became evident that Mr. G was in mourning, assuming his friend Jellybean had disappeared forever. He was inconsolable. After four days of starving himself, drastic actions were taken to help Mr. G. No one had any idea of the bond Mr. G and Jellybean had shared.
It was time for Jellybean to come home. A volunteer at the Rescue Mission that had taken the burro volunteered to drive 14 hours to bring Jellybean to be reunited with Mr. G. After three more days of planning, Mr. G and Jellybean were together again.

The video shows the moment when Mr. G first heard Jellybean. He immediately perked up, stood up, and went outside to investigate. The change in his demeanor is astounding! He rushed over to Jellybean and wouldn’t leave her side. Within 15 or 20 minutes, Mr. G and Jellybean were eating side by side, out of the same bowl. This after Mr. G’s hunger strike!
Oh, what a sight to see!
Never doubt the depth of emotions of animals. Mr. G’s grief was as deep. His joy at reuniting with Jellybean is obvious and as beautiful and inspiring as a human’s.
Instead of placing the two up for adoption, Animal Place welcomed Mr G and Jellybean as permanent residents at their 600-acre Grass Valley sanctuary. Their story will live on, inspiring and teaching visitors about nonhuman emotions.

Jeanne, awesome 🙂 Love is felt by all living things, and animals feel depression, and sadness, and happiness, and joy, based on loving bonds formed with other animals, including us, animals disguised as what ego calls….”human beings”….lol!
