A day in the life of a police officer can be quite unpredictable. They never quite know what challenges they may face or what kind of heroic deeds may be required.
And in the case of the Clearwater Police Department, officers certainly didn't start their day thinking they'd be giving a ride to a goat in their squad car.
Clearwater, FL, may seem like an odd place for a goat to be wandering around, but resident Amy Woolary Quillen saw just that. She immediately called the local police who came to investigate.
Officers Washington and Allen then had the unusual pleasure of corralling the creature and chauffeuring the goat back to its home at a private school.
Scroll down below for a look at this adorable goat who went for an unexpected stroll in an ordinary neighborhood, and the incredible folks who saved the day.

This past week in Clearwater, FL, Amy Woolary Quillen was witness to quite a strange sight: a goat was wandering around unattended.
Quillen posted this photo of herself with the goat, along with the Facebook status:
"I'm the person who caught the goat and called the police. I knew he didn't belong in that naaaaayyyyborhood."
Puns aside, Quillen did the right thing by reaching out to the Clearwater Police Department.
The Clearwater Police Department shared two photos of their officers with the goat, writing on Facebook:
"All in a day's work for Officer Washington and Officer Allen. The two came across a goat that was on the lam this morning."
"They were able to corral the critter and return it to the private school where it lives."
While Officers Washington and Allen never expected to be driving a goat around, they did their duty to return the creature to its home.
The Clearwater Police Department later thanked Quillen on Facebook for her help:
"Excellent work! Thanks for helping keep the streets of Clearwater safe."
Though this goat surprised everyone, the swift action of Quillen and the Clearwater Police Department ensured that the adorable creature had a happy ending.
As the Clearwater Police Department joked on Facebook:
"No charges were filed against the goat."
