A Limestone County woman who was traveling U.S. 72 East near the Madison County line Sunday stopped because she thought a dog and goat on the side of the road might be injured.
But little did she know that neither the goat nor dog was hurt, but she was about to encounter a problem with the goat.
“It jumped up on her car and scratched it up,” said Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely. “I’m told that she had a pretty nice Toyota Camry. When our deputy arrived on the scene she had a hold of him and he was standing on the car.”
Deputy Ron Crouch grabbed the goat by the horns and pulled him off the vehicle and stuck him in the back seat of his patrol car, the sheriff said. The dog then jumped in the back seat with the goat.
“Ron brought them both back here to the jail and he said he got some weird looks from people who noticed this goat in the back seat of his patrol car,” the sheriff said.
“No one has called yet to claim him and if we don’t get a call on it, we are going to eat that goat,” the sheriff said. “We’ve got him up now at Lt. Randy Bates’ place.”
The dog was taken to a shelter.
Blakely says he’d like to hear from anyone missing a goat or a dog.
