It’s not every day that someone getting your goat is a positive thing, but last week a woman was very thankful for just that.
The woman — who has remained nameless — was out enjoying nature along with a 68-year-old woman, two children, and her goats in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area in Colorado, according to Sky-Hi News.
At some point, one of the goats (which she’d raised from just weeks old) fell into a ditch and was unable to rejoin the group. There wasn’t much the woman could do on her own to help, as the animal was a respectable 300 pounds.

Seeing no way to remedy the situation personally, the woman ran for the parking lot to find someone who could drive her to where she could get cell reception and call Routt County Search and Rescue.
“I need help,” she said when she approached two men who’d just completed a grueling hike.
The two hikers, a Colorado resident named Chris Bailey and a visitor from Florida named Brian Gleason, thought their accomplishments were over for the day — but they immediately grew concerned when the frantic woman asked for help contacting search and Rescue
