A heartwarming video shows an adorable pet goat who goes for daily walks with owner, David Hughes - and has made friends with some of the local dogs.

David Hughes, 47, speaks in the video about his daily walks with a large pygmy goat named Boo - who has been raising smiles and turning heads for the last nine years. Boo developed osteoarthritis when he was one and David decided to take the him out on regular walks to keep him moving. He said: 'Often I joke that it's a horned dog - sheepdogs always look very confused when they come past. When I walk him along the road, people in cars wave and smile at us.

I use a standard lead and collar although he is quite strong, especially when he sees something he wants to take a closer look at. On the estate there are a lot of cul-de-sacs and he likes to wander down those, picking a house and standing on their driveway.” David has owned Boo since he was born in the custom built hutch at the bottom of his garden. He added: 'When Boo was really little, he used to stand on my shoulders.
