The beautiful black donkey Ulysses did not know what was happening to him in 2009. Suddenly he found himself in a dealer's stable and was to be taken to Italy to be slaughtered. An employee of Gut Aiderbichl found him there and bought him free. She begged Michael Aufhauser to bring Odysseus to Gut Aiderbichl. He agreed and so he moved into Gut Aiderbichl. A few hours later we noticed that something was wrong. He was noticeably restless. After a telephone call with the dealer, he said: "He has found a little friend here with me" - Pony Penelope was also allowed to become part of our family.
