I love God’s creatures! What a story. I hope they find a wonderful home together.

I hope that somebody will be able to adopt both of them or that the real owner will come get them. I'd hate to see them get separated.

I'm just a sentimental animal lover. I'm sorry.

Maybe they were running away to Iowa to be married.

At least there is still honor among animals. Sweet story, thanks.

I’m so glad they allowed the two to stay together.

A dog would hump my leg. So what’s so strange about a dog humping a goat? Stupid dogs.

To the very left of the article there is an ad to “Donate a Goat” to Feed the Children, LOL!

“They’ve probably been raised together at somebody’s farm, and somehow got into the city,” Holly said.

Bristol is a city?

This is not even *slightly* “odd”.

Goats are chronic herd animals and will literally latch onto *any* animal, if there are no other goats around.

My first pygmy goat trailed my 3 geese wherever they went and he was the low goat on the totem pole.

The following spring, I bought him a little black girl goat for a friend and he was *so* attached to the geese by then that he really didn’t know what to with her.

She, however, knew she was a goat and not a goose so she began to follow him while he was following them.

After a while, something in his head “clicked” and he decided he was a goat again and began hanging out with her instead of the geese.

In fact, when the gander would assault “his girl” over food, he’d come to her rescue.

Now, they’re inseparable.

He’s too heavy and stubborn for me to lead anywhere so I lead her away and he follows.

That being said, for the goat’s sake, I hope they either leave her with dog or better yet, find her a nice herd of goats.

A solitary goat is a miserable creature.
