KTEN reports that the duo were seen wandering together near Whitemound Woad when a neighbor spotted them.

The Grayson County Sheriff’s Office revealed that they nicknamed the duo “Milo” and “Otis”, after the cat and dog duo who strayed away from their farm from the 1986 movie “The Adventures of Milo and Otis”.

Before they were reunited with their owner, the Sheriff’s Office revealed, “We’ve managed to corral them with a kind resident while we wait for Grayson County Animal Control to pick up Milo (the dog). Otis (the goat) will be heading to a local farm for safekeeping.”

Locals were quick to respond to the news of the duo getting separated. They pointed out that separating them will cause stress, especially to the Great Pyrenees.

One local wrote, “The dog and goat were over at my house 2 different days. One time with a pony. The dog is as sweet as can be, but doesn’t like to be separated from the goat.”

“That GP is doing his/her job 1000% – separating them will stress that poor dog and goat out,” another wrote.

However, thanks to the swift response of the local community, the duo were not separated and deputies were able to locate the owner of the duo, and therefore reunite them.

“Grayson County truly is a great place to live, where neighbors still look out for one another and lend a hand when it’s needed most. It’s moments like these that remind us how much people still care about people,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote.

In an interview with KTEN,  Cpl. Cory George reveals that the duo were wandering town together and going on adventures for three days before someone called the Sheriff’s Office to report them.

George revealed that responding to the report was an “odd call to go to”. He said, “I’ve been in law enforcement for about 14 years, and I have not seen that… that’s the first one.”

He also reveals, “We get a lot of loose livestock cows, but not a whole lot of dogs and goats stuck together. They were pretty inseparable like they were best friends.”
