This man is so confident and so soothing. No hyper macho nonsense. A man’s man, and he gives these animals the sense of safety and security that they maybe never had before. I dig this a lot.
Aww Barry's come such a long way, frm when this video was taken. I remember seeing the picture of him before he came to the sanctuary, standing on a dirt road by himself. Julian,, your sweet little chat here, so quiet and calm, it was just what he needed. Now Barry 's a happy contented boy. Glad I got to see the transformation. You, Rachel and the volunteers are such a Blessing for these animals. God Bless You, for everything you're doing.😊
Amazing how far this little donkey has come from this video, he found a true place of peace and kindness. Thank you so much for all the love, compassion and care you give all these amazing mates
Thank you for making this wonderful content. As a person who suffers from chronic depression and anxiety, and missing my soulmate that I lost when I was a young mother, I need to focus on the positives. I come here, share in these delightful and sweet animals, and love listening in on your "life lesson" talks with them! Your kind compassion for animals, and your great sense of humor, plus all of the animals, of course....they make the world a better, kinder place. Thanks for letting me drop in to share time with you all!
Wow, we have a lot in common. I have multidiagnosed mental illness all my life. At present, I'm 64 years old. I have no children, but I recently I also had lost my soul-mate on April 22nd, 2024. I agree watching these videos & getting to know Steve, Ronnie, Charlie, Phillips, the goat, Barry, Julian, etc... helps me think of nicer things in life 😊. I want to wish you a happy life & happy holidays in your future. From a new friend from New York. Stay well 😊.
@@lindaalvarez8855 So nice to meet you! I'm also in my 60's, so we are of a similar age. I'm in New England, so not far at all! I find it's therapeutic to watch videos about loving bonds with animals. All species are incredible to me, and I view them as God's messengers on earth. I wish you and your family a happy holiday season and countless blessings for the new year! XO
That’s good advice for humans too. “Remember, past is gone. We don’t care about past. We only care about future. We only care, actually, about right now.”
We don’t know what relationship this Donkey had with its previous owner . He doesn’t look abused , neither does Ruby . The fact the person ended up in prison , does not mean they abused their animals . Maybe this boy is missing his previous owner . Animals create huge bonds with humans . Poor lad .He really is in the best place now to find trust again ❤️
It made me think of God's gentleness with His children. Sometimes we are stubbon depressed little donkeys. He loves us just the way we are. I am a new subscriber. Thank you so much. I'm officially in donkey rehab, finally. All creatures, great and small.
I do love the fact that you spend time with the animals - the trust you are gaining will go a long way. They are all attached to your kind, gentle and soft approach to them. I love the therapy you are doing with them psychologically. They truly understand what you are saying to them. I am betting he/they have never had such love in their lives.
Let's face it how many humans have had this much love and attention on a daily basis. This is a terrific role model for how you should treat people as well.
@@patriciadavis5939 A long time ago I heard that humans need 12 hugs everyday to maintain good health. All I know for sure is loving and safe touches are extremely important to ALL beings. 👊🥰✌️
This brought tears to my eyes …….just marvellous to see that there are wonderful people who truly ,truly care about these neglected,damaged and traumatised animals !,,,, You deserve everything that comes your way .i hope it’s plenty ❤️❤️👏👏
I love how Philip just horned in for his share of ear scratches! If the sanctuary were in America, I would volunteer to be the Dispenser of Unlimited Ear Scratches! ☺️
Best RUclips video I've seen all year !!! I clicked LIKE before watching it, but then by the middle of it, I wondered, WHY isn't there a LOVE button ?!! I'd give it a million clicks.
Ruby tapdancing on the roof. What's more important is your future, not your past...life lessons from Julian. Bless him, he's a bit partial to an ear scratch. It's going to take a little time for him to trust you, I suppose, but he's licking you already, which is a great sign. Here and now, here and now.👍🤞🤩
Who doesn't like an ear-scratch??? Even dragons enjoy their ears scratched from time to time. Keep up the good work, Julian----you truly love what you do, and the residents at your Sanctuary know they are well-loved.
You're making good progress with the new donkey; he was a lot more standoffish last week. Now he's enjoying your cuddles and licking you back. You've won him over with your ear scratches, conversation, and loving attention.
Thank goodness they have a loving home now and it will just get better as they realize they don't have to worry about anything bad anymore, they are all so lovable, hugs and ear scratches to them all 🐎🐐 xx
A man with so much compassion in his heart ❤️ is exactly what Barry needs it to heal and have a new start. I would love to visit and volunteer at your Sanctuary ❤💕🥰🇪🇸
You are very kind and wise Julian. As soon as you rubbed his ears, he gave you kisses. Your advice to him was truth from the heart. You and Rachel have a hard job but the most rewarding job. Blessed To All. 💖✨💖
This was such a precious interaction between Julian, Barry, and Philip. It looks like Barry is really building trust and working on adjusting to his new home. What a sweetheart! Philip was a little sweetie too. ❤️
Nearly in tears watching this. Hate people who are cruel to animals. God bless you, for helping this Donkey. Dont know his background, but hopefully he will forget the past and trust again. There are nice people in the world who love and care for animals. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Shame how precious is he.....I wonder if he made had a partner someone that he is pinning for......thank you for helping these animals.....God bless you sir....
Phillip and Ruby are too funny. I have rescued animals in two countries and know what grateful looks like in animals. If they lick you, they trust you.
This man and his partner are extraordinary humans doing superhuman deeds of unconditional love for all those beautiful beings. Spain is lucky to have him.
Poor baby 😭 Donkeys are such beautiful animals. His life is going to be amazing now he's at the sanctuary where he'll be loved & respected. I look forward to seeing his progress to becoming a healthy happy boy 💕🐎
Thank you Julian. I know this little chat was for "you know who", but you just gave me something that didn't know I needed, right now😊 ❤️☀️🌵⛈️🌈☮️🐎🐐🐕🐿️🦍🐝🐞 Edit: just ran through some of the comments, and I love how a lot of you are calling him Barry. "Barry" was my vote, and it really does suit him.
What a sweet soul. You can see he has endured sunburn often in the past. I am so glad he is at Jacobs Ridge. This was the best place for this wonderful donkey. Julian, you certainly have a way with animals. They are attracted to your loving and caring spirit.
You should write a book about the personalities of your animals, what you have found out about their psyche, and the healing process of each one, animals are gifts from heaven, they heal us too.
I have fallen in love with your videos. What a lovley bunch of animals. When I come home from that long day at work we all experience, there is nothing like Ronnie & Steve getting scritches. Thank you!
This man is so confident and so soothing. No hyper macho nonsense. A man’s man, and he gives these animals the sense of safety and security that they maybe never had before. I dig this a lot.
Thank you for believing in your animals. You are an angel😇🥰💜🐎👍
I so agree. Great spirit and genuin love for his four legged pals. That love is clearly a two way street.
Agreed! He's a true gem!
ME TOO!
❤

You could tell how much better Barry was feeling after his loving therapy talk from Julian. Its wonderful and very moving. You guys are amazing ❤
When he kisses these animals, it melts my heart. ❤❤ What a wonderful man!
Julian is so sweet!! Helping depressed donkey with a pep talk
Barry’s licking is a return gesture for your scratching his ears. You groomed him so now he’s returning the favour. How adorable. 😊
I wish every human had the humanity and understanding towards animals that Julian has.
What a wonderful world it would be.....
Me too
Same here! He is a beautiful being
That’s good advice for humans too. “Remember, past is gone. We don’t care about past. We only care about future. We only care, actually, about right now.”
Mindfulness
"Barry's" licking indicates he's learning to trust Julian. This is huge in his process of adjusting to his new home at the JR Ranch.
🤗💕
Isn't he just wonderful, calm, confident, and incredibly kind, top man.
Julian has such a calming deep base voice that’s one reason why the animals are so attracted to his energy.
i totally agree
Julian is a good man. The animals know.
True respect for animals,I love seeing it.
I think Julian’s affection has much to do with it!
We don’t know what relationship this Donkey had with its previous owner . He doesn’t look abused , neither does Ruby . The fact the person ended up in prison , does not mean they abused their animals . Maybe this boy is missing his previous owner . Animals create huge bonds with humans .

Yes ,me too, l feel l need an ear scratch and kiss on my forehead .
I may need to be rescued. ❤ I love how Julian and Rachel interact with the animals. So full of love. You two are so wonderful.
Lol me too !
Me three!
Me too.❤
Me too
I agree. I think a week at the sanctuary would be so healing...

@@suzannenichols6900 I don't agree. I rarely hug or get hugged. However, I hug animals and agree that it is important for them.
This man is so kind! ❤️ People that are kind to animals give me hope ❤️ Thank you for helping these precious darlings 🌸❤️
This brought tears to my eyes …….just marvellous to see that there are wonderful people who truly ,truly care about these neglected,damaged and traumatised animals !,,,, You deserve everything that comes your way .i hope it’s plenty ❤️❤️👏👏
OMG!! Sweet, sweet babies! “Barry” has probably never been cuddled so lovingly-or at all. Thank you, Julian. Sending all my love and gratitude. 🙏
I love how Philip just horned in for his share of ear scratches! If the sanctuary were in America, I would volunteer to be the Dispenser of Unlimited Ear Scratches! ☺️
You and me both! :)
I would too!
Me toooooooo🙋♀️
Same in 🇦🇺 !!
Me too from Poland❤
What a wonderful chat with Barry. Everything Julian said goes for humans too❤❤🥰❣
Exactly, humans don't really belong on top of buildings either.😁
I like my ears scratched.
I thought the same thing. It would be so wonderful to have someone stop and talk; and then have your neck and feet massaged. 💞
Best RUclips video I've seen all year !!! I clicked LIKE before watching it, but then by the middle of it, I wondered, WHY isn't there a LOVE button ?!! I'd give it a million clicks.
He really is Eeyore-like, poor lad. Lots of ear scratching needed.
Yes, but i hope they have his ears checked for infections etc by a vet...it could be partly why he's depressed . 🤔
"Think about the breath. And cuddles, donkey cuddles are great." Words to live by.
Such an important conversation ♡♡♡
"A man that don't love a horse, there is something the matter with him." - Will Rogers
Julian, you are the best. Kisses, hugs and ear scratching for Donkey Face.
So lovely to see this interaction.
Oh how sweet. I wish I could cuddle up with Donkey-Face and Philip as they look so huggable.
Ruby tapdancing on the roof. What's more important is your future, not your past...life lessons from Julian. Bless him, he's a bit partial to an ear scratch.

Yesss!!!! God Bless everyone at Jacob’s Ridge!!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@amyh7554 You are absolutely correct
We could all use a little cuddle in the "cuddle pen". 🤗 Sooo nice to see that sweet boy smile with his "ear scratchies" & then give Julian kisses.💋
@@wendyeverett1756 absolutely!!!!! 💕💕
The licking is just a donkey's way of saying ... I love you!
It's heartwarming to watch the bonding moments.
Your pep talk to Barry is so sweet and I found it helpful as well. thank you

Love the squinty eyes “Barry” gets when gets his ears scratched. Donkey heaven!!
Ear Rubs are the key♥️
Oh Julian you've done it again.
This was heart warming to the max.
Julian has a great heart! I like how he basically says that the past is the past and to stop thinking about bad thoughts and just “breathe”
You are very kind and wise Julian. As soon as you rubbed his ears, he gave you kisses. Your advice to him was truth from the heart. You and Rachel have a hard job but the most rewarding job. Blessed To All. 💖✨💖
Goats processing paperwork. I can't unsee it.
I think Barry is a great name! He’s so sweet and gentle ❤️
Oh I’m sure I suggested Barry ❤️❤️❤️🤞🏽
Gosh Phillips horns make me nervous. I love their faces when they have an ear scratch. ❤❤
I would be worried too: having a serious talk with HR present. That usually means trouble.
LOL
This was such a precious interaction between Julian, Barry, and Philip. It looks like Barry is really building trust and working on adjusting to his new home. What a sweetheart! Philip was a little sweetie too. ❤️
The most touching video Julian. Love your heart ❤️
As far as I can tell, it's not depression. It's bliss.
Like taking a wonderful poo!
It sure turned into bliss. Didn’t it?🤗
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present. 🎁😉🎁
Wow, that's really beautiful.
#FACTS
Amen!
Thanks. Great comment. I'm home sick with Covid and you made me feel better.
Heard this before but it's worth repeating. We need to drum this in to our HEADS.
Nearly in tears watching this. Hate people who are cruel to animals. God bless you, for helping this Donkey. Dont know his background, but hopefully he will forget the past and trust again. There are nice people in the world who love and care for animals. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
LOVE IT. You guys are so precious. Love, love, love donkeys and goats aaand your treasured wisdoms. Hugs.
Just landed here and I absolutely love this guy helping the donkey . Thank you for being so kind to these animals.
Beautiful 😍 thanks, I enjoy your videos xx
Shame how precious is he.....I wonder if he made had a partner someone that he is pinning for......thank you for helping these animals.....God bless you sir....
Phillip and Ruby are too funny. I have rescued animals in two countries and know what grateful looks like in animals. If they lick you, they trust you.
“Processing your application…” Julian I really like you!
I'd love to hug and kiss that sweet donkey! I've always loved donkeys.
Philip (or is it Filipe?) is growing on me every time I see him - a real character and so cute.
Philip, Philip Valentino, Felipe, Philly, Philamon, whatever you prefer! 😂 He is lovely
Love Filipe!!
Ahhhhh donkey is returning the kindness. Sweet. He seem to be so loving.
Philip wants loving too. How cute💕💕
Lovely video you are so kind Julian. All world leaders should be made to watch these and be more donkey xx🥰💕🦓
Agreed April, and these videos should be compulsory in schools to instill from the earliest age how all defenceless creatures should be treated 💞🤗
@@missp5152 yes I so agree with you. X
He looks so sad. Thank you for showing him what loves mean. You heal him❤️🤗👍
Donkeyface Barry looks so relieved. I believe he understands every word you say! 🌸🌸🌸
I guess that rattling and banging around was one of the goats fixing the roof.
😆
What an absolutely amazing kind man..so in touch with these beautiful gentle creatures that just want love and security. So wonderful to see this ❤️
Dude you are the best ❤️ So kind to the donkeys ❤️Love your accent ❤️Love your channel ❤️
So loving and caring towards these otherwise discarded beautiful souls.
🙏💚
Lovely. What a sweet boy he is. Looking forward to getting to see him more and more....
Awww, this made me tear-up. So beautiful.
The donkey feels so much love and safety with that man!
Remember the old family sitcoms like Leave it to Beaver where the dad gives a little pep talk with dadly wisdom at the end of the half hour?
Aww, an ear scratch works wonders and makes the world a brighter place🥰
Love the way you talk to them. I have always been certain they do understand.
I love the way,you always talk to your frends!!
This man and his partner are extraordinary humans doing superhuman deeds of unconditional love for all those beautiful beings. Spain is lucky to have him.
You must have the most compassionate heart on earth. God prosper you!!
This place is just the paradise for these adorable and attaching animals. They deserve it so much. ❤️ I love donkeys
The goats process the paperwork. 😆🤣
-- yeah, in their mouths! -chewy! 😂
Your so patient with him. He's an adorable sweet one. Awh, a very lovely sweetheart. Luv Philip too
“What’s more important is you’re future not you’re past.” I will say these words to all my adopted companions. 💖 🙏
Poor baby 😭 Donkeys are such beautiful animals. His life is going to be amazing now he's at the sanctuary where he'll be loved & respected. I look forward to seeing his progress to becoming a healthy happy boy 💕🐎
These names…………too dern cute. Love your channel and animals.
I love how donkeys always seem to be smiling. You can see his smile coming back in, sweet baby!
I bet the donkey would like carrots and apples. Thanks for loving and caring for such as sweet animal.
I am so thankful for all the people who love the animals!
Just a sweet, tender moment...how lovely to watch!
Thank you Julian.
I know this little chat was for "you know who", but you just gave me something that didn't know I needed, right now😊
❤️☀️🌵⛈️🌈☮️🐎🐐🐕🐿️🦍🐝🐞
Edit: just ran through some of the comments, and I love how a lot of you are calling him Barry.
"Barry" was my vote, and it really does suit him.
Love and kisses soothe the sad sole. Pay attention to Julian. Both Rachael and Julian will make your life full of joy.💕 (I love you Barry!)
Hi newbie here! Love horses. And donkeys apply. Very beautiful. Dont know much about the sanctuary. But I d know rescues are gratitude. God bless. 🙏
What a sweet soul. You can see he has endured sunburn often in the past. I am so glad he is at Jacobs Ridge. This was the best place for this wonderful donkey. Julian, you certainly have a way with animals. They are attracted to your loving and caring spirit.

Pep talks in the cuddle pen lifts all of us up! Thank you both for care and devotion for your all of your animals! Our hearts are with you💗💗😐
A friend FOREVER! The love of his life. Thank you for sharing 👍👍🌹
I have fallen in love with your videos. What a lovley bunch of animals. When I come home from that long day at work we all experience, there is nothing like Ronnie & Steve getting scritches. Thank you!
The Zen of Donkey 🙏🏻 Beautiful Julian, you settled me right into the ear scratch moment! ☀️🕊❤️
So sweet and gentle. And the Donkey responds to it. Bigg Huggs from Denver.
Awwww he’s beautiful he wants some cuddles and tickle belly and to know someone loves him adorable God Bless you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice going with him! His poor nose though! Love the manner you have with all the critters
Im watching all your videos and im feeling so relaxed.
U and these pure soul animals derive a calm and soothing vibe!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing
That was therapy for me, never mind for Donkey-face! Oh yeah, those ear-scratches really hit the spot for him. 🐴
I love the connection with these wonderful animals. Warms my heart to watch how you love on them, and they respond.
Poor Casper (still wishful thinking) being all sad. Why the long face dude, you are loved all over the world x
