When I’m online, I keep an eye out for stories involving law enforcement. Sometimes the articles are about police abuses of power, new laws, or interesting things that have happened to officers. This article is about an unusual article I saw online. So let me ask you, why would two goats be in the back of a police car? Did they escape their pasture to wander onto private property? (One of my friend’s goats used to escape from their field every afternoon. Turns out, the fence was made to keep cows in and not goats. They were climbing the brace posts and jumping out!) Did they get into a kick-fight at the local bar? Swallow a woman’s prized jewels? Cause they will eat almost anything. Nah. Turns out they were just lost. On a Sunday morning, Sergeant Fitzpatrick of the Belfast Police Department in Maine spotted Louis and Mowgli, two pygmy goats who were clearly lost. He shepherded them into the back of his squad vehicle and called it in: “I got two rogue goats here.” He wasn’t worried about the condition of the car — the back of that car had seen more hostile characters in its day. He posted a cute picture of them on Facebook with the caption, “Got goats? We do, and they do not belong to us … They are currently riding around with Sgt. Fitzpatrick, serenading him in goat Alert: Two Rogue Goats Do They Make Handcuffs for Hooves?
music. Though he is thankful for the company on this cool Sunday morning, he would gladly return them to their owners. He is running out of vegetables to feed them.” Louis and Mowgli appear cool and collected in the photo. (Perhaps it wasn’t their first time in the back of the police car.) Luckily, their owner saw the post and quickly came to retrieve them. To announce their safe return, Fitzpatrick posted another cute selfie with his four-legged friends, saying, “The goats have been returned home. Louis and Mowgli enjoyed their day trip with Sgt. Fitzpatrick, but alas, all good things come to an end. Perhaps in the next budget year we can inquire as to getting some patrol goats.” So you better look out, K-9 unit. These goats aren’t kidding around. Great job, Sergeant Fitzpatrick! This is a great example of community policing! —George
