No Kidding: 'Owner Of A Lonely Goat' Sought In Florida

BRADENTON, FL — Police have been searching for the "owner of a lonely goat" since New Year's Day in Manatee County and one radio station decided to lend a helping hoof with a musical public service announcement.

"The Manatee County Sheriff's Office found a goat walking the streets of Bradenton and are searching for the goat's owner," according to a social media post by morning crew, Jones & Company on 107.9 FM.

"So, we took it upon ourselves to help out," WSRV in Sarasota posted.

DJs David Jones, Billy Jack and M&M recorded a parody of the 80s Yes hit: "Owner of a Lonely Heart" with lots of bleating.

"Check, check your farm and all the animals," the parody goes. "You may be down a goat. Owner of a lonely goat. Owner of a lonely goat. Much bah-dder than — owner of a broken goat. Owner of a lonely goat."

The goat was found wandering in traffic along the 5800 block of 14th Street W in Bradenton on New Year's Day, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

"After an extended foot pursuit, he was apprehended and agreed to pose for a picture," the sheriff's office reported.

The sheriff's office said the goat was brought to the Manatee County Jail farm to "roam happily" until his owner is found.

"Lets find this goat's forever home," the DJs added.
