Leaving their goat named Bobby Brown behind was never an option for Albert and Yoka Hoogendoorn, who recently moved from a farm to a town in Ontario, Canada. “We would never have left the goat on the farm or any place. The goat is a part of the family and we drag him all over the place,” Albert said. The couple moved into a two-story home that Albert built himself. He also built a heated backyard shed for Bobby the goat. “I built a beautiful home for him. He has his own house and that is electrically heated. He has water there, and he has his salt lick and his hay and everything,” Albert said. He takes Bobby for walks in the neighborhood, much to the surprise and delight of the neighbors.
