I know that Monday’s touching, true story about the rescue of Brett the Goat pulled at your heartstrings, and possibly reaffirmed your belief that people are, basically, good. Or made you hungry for goat. Well we now have an update on the whereabouts of the goat, which was pulled from a car trunk by auto […]
