— -- A man in Redmond, Oregon, attracted an unlikely follower on his way home: a goat.

The goat, which was unknown to the man, trailed the man to his house, according to the Redmond Police Department.

The goat was eventually taken to a shelter for safekeeping. The county sheriff’s office was later contacted about the goat, and the animal was returned to its owner, police said.

“Not your average call, but still a nice ending,” the police department wrote in a Facebook post.
