Mr. Fury is magnificent, as always, but the burro could easily steal the scene. Contrary to common perception, they are intelligent creatures with personalities and preferences as to which humans they want to work with. We had one on the ranch that my uncle taught to dance for a carrot. Throw in an apple, and he'd take a bow after his dance routine. He learned to open a particular type of gate latch we used so he could go wherever he wanted. That led to problems with loose cattle, so we had to change the latches.
