Here's a great story about an unusual trio: a goat, a Great Dane and a three-legged retriever. It begins in Dallas, where a goat and a Great Dane were found lounging on the grounds of a Dallas chapel. The pair was taken to a local pet orphanage called the East Lake Pet Orphanage.
It was there, their togetherness was duly noted by resident vet, Dr. Karen Fling. "They act like a married couple. . .They eat together, sleep together, huddle around in a little ball and sleep together. It is very sweet," she said.
It was all fine and well until the Dallas County Sheriff's office got wind of the presence of the goat, Minnelli. It turns out it is illegal in Texas to harbor stray livestock and there was the possibility that the goat could be sold at a livestock auction.
Needless to say, that did not happen. The owners of the goat and Great Dane surfaced, reunited them with the third member of the pack (the three legged retriever) and eventually all three were adopted by a loving human couple.
"They're doing great and they'll be happy here for the rest of their lives," says one of the new owners. "They walk around like a little troop; where one goes, the others go. They capture your heart."
