Residents in a Dallas suburb were greeted by surprise guests in their neighborhood Tuesday morning — a herd of goats.
According to a post on social media by the Arlington Police Department, around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, officers were notified that a herd of goats was wandering through a neighborhood.
Authorities stated that the herd managed to escape from their enclosure in the park and decided to go for a morning stroll.
“This is a mess,” an officer is heard saying on body camera video released by the department.
