The adorably cute goat version of Forrest Gump.
You're on the list! Expect to receive your first email very soon!There’s an adorable elderly goat, named Joshua, who lives at Taylor’s Pumpkin Patch, the business Heidi Taylor’s family owns. The goat loves attention and socializing with people, yet one day, he suddenly disappeared.
Joshua the goat had broken free of his collar to join over 25o racers at the T’Railway Trek Half Marathon in Conception Bay South, Canada. Taylor’s family bought him back in 2014 from a farm in Green’s Harbour in Newfoundland and Labrador, and over many years, the goat has become the face of the family’s business, Taylor’s Pumpkin Patch, where some people visit just to see him.
After finally catching the escapee, the goat’s owners decided to walk the last half-kilometer with him to get Joshua over the finish line.“We very quickly put a medal around his neck and he became quite the star. Most people who actually ran the half marathon wanted their picture with Joshua at the finish line,” Mayor Darrin Bent said about the unexpected four-legged contestant who joined the race.
