**BREAKING: MISSING DONKEY FOUND SAFE AND SOUND AFTER DARING ESCAPE FROM FIERCE BEAR IN MASSACHUSETTS**
In a stunning turn of events, a donkey named Mr. Nibbles, who had been missing for two days, was found alive and well in a nearby town after a heart-pounding adventure involving a bear in Massachusetts.
According to eyewitnesses, Mr. Nibbles, a 5-year-old donkey, was last seen fleeing for his life from a massive grizzly bear that had wandered into the area. The bear, described as “enormous” and “hairier than a Yeti,” was reportedly chasing Mr. Nibbles through the woods, causing the donkey to run for his life.
“I was out picking blueberries when I saw the bear and the donkey running towards me,” said local resident, Agnes Jenkins. “I thought for sure it was the end of the world! The bear was roaring and the donkey was… well, donkey-ing. It was a real scene, let me tell you.”
Miraculously, Mr. Nibbles managed to outrun the bear and led authorities on a wild goose chase through the countryside. Witnesses described the scene as “absolute chaos” with the donkey dodging low-hanging branches and leaping over streams.
“I was driving to work when I saw a donkey flying through the air,” said commuter, Dave Wilson. “I slammed on my brakes and thought, ‘Is this a donkey or a superhero?’ It was like something out of a cartoon!”
After a two-day search effort involving multiple law enforcement agencies, Mr. Nibbles was finally found safe and sound in a nearby barn, where he had apparently taken refuge.
“I’m just glad to have my donkey back,” said relieved owner, Emily Chen. “I was worried sick about him. I mean, who wouldn’t be? He’s a donkey, for crying out loud!”
The bear, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, is still at large and authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant.
In related news, local businesses are capitalizing on the drama, selling “I survived the Great Donkey Chase” t-shirts and “Bear-Proof Donkey” merchandise.
As for Mr. Nibbles, he’s just happy to be back home, munching on hay and avoiding any more bear-related drama.
“I’m just glad to be alive,” said Mr. Nibbles in a statement. “And I’m definitely not running for office anytime soon.”
