The walking Vancouver goat went home to Langley: VPD

The goat found wandering around East Vancouver on Friday night is going home, police say.

Vancouver Police Department officers corralled the animal near East Broadway and St. Catherines St. after receiving “multiple calls” about it, starting around 7:15 p.m.

Video shared with CTV News Vancouver shows the goat trotting down an alley near Kingsway, while another video on social media shows it running along a sidewalk.

On Saturday, police said officers found the wayward goat “stuck in a thorn bush” and were able to take it to an officer’s “family farm.”

The VPD said the BC SPCA was called in to help find the goat’s home because it was unclear where the animal came from or who it belonged to.

When asked for an update on Tuesday, the department said the goat’s owner had come forward.

“The owner lives in Langley and contacted us after he found out we found it,” said Sgt. Steve Addison in an email to CTV News.

“He has no idea how it got to Vancouver, but says it has been missing for a few days.”

The location where the goat was found is about 25 miles from Langley’s western border.

Police will return the animal to its owner, Addison said.
