Woman Films Reaction of 'Kid' When Picking Him Up, but There's a Twist

A hilarious video of a goat getting a visit from her owners has gone viral on social media for reacting like a child at pick up.

The video shared on TikTok on Tuesday, under the username brianabentley1022, shows the moment the baby goat noticed her owners' car pull in and started joyfully skipping toward them while bleating loudly.

The post comes with a caption that reads: "When your kid finally spots you at pick up." This was followed by: "Oh the joy our little girl brings... sometimes we don't think she believes shes a goat. She takes naps by the fire and has her own bed in our house..."

Getting Pet Goats

Before getting a pet goat, you should check your local regulations to ensure goats can be kept within your city's limits and whether there are any restrictions regarding goat size or weight.

Then you should make sure you have enough space to let it roam free. "A miniature goat requires a minimum of approximately 135 square feet of romper room space; a standard goat needs twice that, with the square footage multiplied by the number of goats you have," animal health resource website VetStreet previously wrote.

Moreover, goats need regular veterinary examinations and vaccinations throughout their lifetimes, and they are also very picky eaters.
