Sometimes animals get lost, separated from their homes and families, and it takes some kindhearted strangers to help them find their way back. That was the case for a young goat who was lost and found by a human family who helped him have a beautiful reunion with his mother. The story was shared by a Reddit user known as u/kdearceo, from the Philippines. Their sister recently found a young goat trapped in a pit near their home, all alone.
The family took the kid in for the night, giving him shelter before setting out to find his owners in the morning. They named the goat Shawarma D. Goat. The kid ran around their house, and the family gave him lots of attention and pets. They had some trouble getting him to anything or sleep through the night. The goat was probably still scared to be away from his family and in these new surroundings. However they were able to get him to rest and feed from a bottle.
Kdearceo posted the touching moment on Reddit, where it has gone viral. They said it brought a tear to their eye, calling it a “ninja chopping onions moment.” Many Reddit users praised kdearceo as a hero for helping reunite the lost goat, but they said it was just the right thing to do. “Let’s call this act simple as being humans! We have the capacity to protect and care so we should, always!”
