StinkE and his donkey Bernadine were fixtures on the streets of Virginia City.
He was a "stinky old friggin' prospector" - hence his name - StinkE.
"I got her from the BLM," said "StinkE."
"They picked her up near a highway where other burros were hit and killed."
Stinke's burro, "Bernadine" is being boarded and is cared for well.
Mata Lekka-Valkana writes,
"A gentle soul is being missed! In that photo one can see the bond they had towards each other"
"Stinky" and Bernadine posed for this photo by Liz Huntington four years ago, March 25th 2017.

In the end, only kindness matters.
