一隻驢子跟一隻澳洲鴕鳥鴯鶓（emu）原本住在美國南卡羅萊納州，不過牠們的的主人卻突然消失，動物救援單位在將牠們帶到收容所時發現，驢子跟鴯鶓喜歡互相擁抱，並且一起就寢睡覺，兩人的關係中充滿了粉色泡泡，而且將兩者分開時，驢子會「開始哭泣」，鴯鶓則是會「變的瘋狂」，根本就離不開對方啊！
根據外媒報導，驢子跟鴯鶓原本與主人一起住在南卡羅萊納州，但某一天主人留下家中所有的動物，包含雞、狗、貓和，驢子跟鴯鶓，隨後就莫名其妙的失蹤了。動物救援單位「卡羅萊納水鳥救援隊（Carolina Waterfowl Rescue）」將這些動物從無人的家中撤出，並把牠們通通帶到收容所裡。
「卡羅萊納水鳥救援隊」的觀察員珍妮佛（Jennifer Gordon）表示，被救出的驢子跟鴯鶓很特別，因爲牠們喜歡摟抱在一起，甚至是一起睡覺，而且如果把牠們分開，驢子會開始發出哭泣聲，鴯鶓則會開始變的瘋狂。該救援組織意識到，這兩隻小動物必須生活在一起，於是在社羣網路上尋找可以一次性收養牠們的單位，並且請網友幫牠們命名。
We are excited to introduce Jack and Diane. A story where two creatures with different looks, backgrounds and even breeds learn to stand together, protect each other and love.

最後驢子跟鴯鶓分別被命名爲「傑克（Jack）」和「黛安（Diane）」，而救援單位也幫牠們倆的「愛情故事」寫下，「兩隻不同外貌、背景甚至是品種的生物學會站在一起，保護以及愛對方。」然而這兩隻動物最奇怪的地方還不止這裡，因爲牠們幾乎不跟其他驢子和鴯鶓相處，只活在兩人世界當中！
報導中指出，救援隊曾試圖把黛安和另一隻鴯鶓進行配對，不過卻遭到傑克的攻擊，基於這個經驗，救援隊隨後決定不再將牠們放到其他收容所，或者是將兩者分開，並積極創造一個可以讓牠們待在一起的空間。
Here is some videos of Jack and Diane. We are getting a lot if messages right now and ask that people interested in adopting email adopt@cwrescue.org the phone lines are for injured birds and they do not have information on animals for adoption. Media, you may use our pictures and video as long as you give us credit. We are amazed at how far reaching this story is!! Some other questions we are getting asked do the cussler or snuggle. While they huddled together for the trailer ride home donkeys and Emus by nature really dont cuddle ir snuggle. So you wont really see pictures of them doing this. We determined they were bonded based on the behaviour when they were separated. Also Jack attacked another donkey who got NEAR Diane. He is protective of her. We tried letting Diane near our emu Dino and we struck out again. Theybare perfectly.happy together. Jack does not want any other donkeys near him or Diane. They cant be housed with other donkeys or emus. I think all.the hoopla is tiring them out and we have asked for a break for them. This is a new place and they havent had a ton of human contact. They are friendly but not used to this traffic. Donations for their rescue and of other animals are greatly needed. Cwrescue.org/donate/ for info on donating.
