CALGARY – A black and white goat gave police quite the workout on Monday, when it somehow got loose in the community of Forest Lawn.
The barnyard animal was first spotted around 8 a.m. in the area of 19th Avenue and 37th Street S.E.
It’s unknown where he came from, but there is a veterinary clinic nearby as well as a custom meat shop.
Several uniformed officers chased the animal in a game of ‘hide and goat seek’ until they eventually managed to corner him in a backyard.
