Exactly. Since the owners of the donkey permitted the disciples to take the donkey after the disciples had told the owners that "the Lord has need of it," I think it's quite clear that Jesus and the owners had arranged the use of the donkey beforehand. It was done on a voluntary basis.

I am sure the Lord returned the animals after He made use of them. Would the Lord steal a poor man's ass?
