Officers from the Enid Police Department were captured on their bodycams running towards what sounded like someone yelling for help—but the true culprit really got their goat.

Bodycam footage of an officer running toward the cries for help revealed they were coming from a goat that had been “separated from one of his friends."

The Enid Police Department posted the lighthearted discovery on their Facebook page and wrote:

"Sometimes a call can really get your goat."
"Yesterday, Officer David Sneed and Officer Neal Storey responded to a report of someone heard yelling for help."
"Upon arriving, the officers began walking toward the faint sound of someone yelling."
"As they got closer, Officer Sneed could hear a distinct yell for 'help.'”
"Running toward the sound, the two soon discovered their damsel in distress was a very upset goat, who the farmer explained, had been separated from one of his friends."

Upon discovering the barnyard animal was the culprit, the officer wearing the bodycam was heard telling his compatriots:

"I'm like, 'that's a person.'"
"Yeah, from this long distance, sounds like hell."

The department's page concluded the post with gratitude and a dad joke.

"Thank you, gentlemen. Your swift actions (although in the end not necessary) are appreciated by us all."
"All in all, you really can’t say it was that baaad of a call."

Twitter couldn't resist passing up an opportunity for wisecracks.




People continued sharing their genuine thoughts on the situation.





It's a relief knowing no actual humans were in peril here.

But kudos to the fearless officers who quickly sprang into action to butt in.

After all, no goats, no glory.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
