'right beside each other' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'some forsaken donkeys found' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'ENDON' is hidden in the letters of 'forsaken donkeys found'.
