19 Reasons Why Goats Are Pretty Much Dogs With Hooves

What's the difference between a dog and a goat?

Hooves aside, you've got me there.

The domesticated goat has been a staple of human life and agriculture for thousands and thousands of years, just as the dog has been our constant companion since like…forever ago.

I mean, think about it. In a lot of ways, goats really are just big, fuzzy dogs with hooves.

I know it sounds crazy, maybe even ludicrous, but I'm sticking to this theory. Hear me out.

You see, I've compiled a list of very important similarities between two of the cutest four-legged animals that ever did exist.

Please SHARE these very convincing arguments that goats are actually dogs with hooves!
