Unusual 4-legged creatures found at golf course

[October 29, 2008]  PRIMGHAR, Iowa (AP) -- The O'Brien County sheriff's office is looking for the owner of two unusual four-legged creatures found wandering on a golf course in Primghar. Two hinnies, a cross between a stallion and a female donkey, were found about two weeks ago.

Deputy Dean Fjeld said officials corralled the pair and took them a city pasture. So far, no one has claimed them.

Fjeld said if the owners don't show up, there's a chance the animals could be auctioned.

Fjeld said it's possible the animals were abandoned because of tough financial times.
