West Dundee residents reported first seeing this goat roaming the village a couple months ago and from what village officials can tell, the goat appears to be traveling with a herd of deer, according to the Elgin Courier-News. It’s the same goat, they believe, that was spotted in Elgin in the past year and was last seen by Elgin police in October. Kane County officials have not received any reports of a lost goat so its unclear where he, or she, came from, the newspaper reports.
West Dundee officials say the goat has been piquing the interest of many residents who have spotted him in parks, natural areas and around the Old Town neighborhood. Now, the question is, where is he (or she) headed next?
