A recent study by Queen Mary University of London determined that goats enjoy human companionship as much as dogs, and that goats prefer to interact with happy human faces. Not only do goats prefer to interact with happy humans, but they can also detect other human emotions such as anger or sadness. Now, I’m not saying to be happy all the time, I’m just saying that goats make me smile, and apparently if I smile at them, they might smile back.

I was very happy to come upon this group of goats one day.
