The New Bedford Fire Department in Massachusetts got unexpected visitors on October 30 – a dog and three goats wandering loose near one of their fire stations.

“Shortly after 4:00 this afternoon, members of Engine 5 observed a mother goat and two baby goats walking on Acushnet Avenue,” The Fire Department shared on Facebook on October 30. “They were accompanied by a dog, possibly a St. Bernard.”

The “visitors” reportedly did not have any human companions and the firefighters got concerned for the animals’ safety.

The Fire Department recounts, “With assistance from a neighbor walking his own dog, placed a leash on the mother given to them by the neighbor, and walked the goat inside Station 5.”

They added that after the mother goat was walked inside the fire station, her two baby goats followed her into safety.

Furthermore, the neighbor was able to successfully secure the dog who was accompanying the goats.

When the animals were placed into safety, the firefighters at the New Bedford Fire Department called Animal Control for assistance.

“The goats were placed in a fenced in area behind the fire station until they were returned to their home, which is located a short distance from Station 5,” the Fire Department revealed.

“Great work members of Engine 5 and the gentleman who assisted, you’re the G.O.A.T!”

Some users couldn’t help but be amused by the incident. One Facebook user wrote, “What a funny and wonderful story to read first thing in the morning. Great work firefighters at Station 5!”

“Goats were just trying to get in on that trick or treating a day early so they get the good stuff  but seriously I’m glad they’re safe and returned home well done,” another wrote.

And while the three goats were returned to their owner, people were still wondering if the dog that accompanied them was returned to its owner as well.

This is because the Fire Department didn’t share any update on its safe return to its owner.

Hopefully, the goats’ furry friend got home safely after their little rendezvous in town together!
