A motorist in Austria got way more than he bargained for when he stepped out of his car to shoo away a goat that was blocking the rural road and the animal jumped into the vehicle and refused to leave.

In fact, the goat started to eat the fabric on the car's seats, according to a report in The Sun newspaper.

The driver, Gunther Hauser, actually walked to a nearby farm to appeal for help, but he was thought to be a burglar and sent packing.

He finally called police, who helped remove the animal.

"I had to take a picture of the goat because my insurance company would never have believed me," Hauser said, according to The Sun.
