Devon man rescues lost goat

Watch: No kidding - he walked it home on lead

Geoff Evans, from North Devon, has been labelled the 'goatbuster' after rescuing a lost goat near Bideford earlier this week.

Sharing the news on Facebook, Geoff wrote: "They never said when we moved to Devon we’d be rescuing goats. This one got out of its pen in Durrant Lane Northam and decided to follow a group of walkers. When they veered off towards bideford it went up Limers Lane.

"Concerned it was heading towards the main Heywood Road, I made a dog lasso and assisted by a carrot rescued it from our neighbours garden. Said goat is now walked safely back to its field and the farmer informed."
