PORTLAND, Ore. -- A pygmy goat boarded a TriMet bus Monday night in southeast Portland.TriMet officials said the bus was on layover at Southeast 94th Avenue and Foster Road when the goat wandered onto the bus.Concerned of nearby freeway and street traffic, the bus driver alerted TriMet dispatchers, who called 911."I've got a very strange request," the caller told the emergency dispatcher. "A goat is on our bus. We need him off."A Portland police officer took the 35-pound pygmy goat to a Multnomah County Animal Services shelter in Troutdale.Animal control officers later checked Craigslist and found a posting titled "Lost: Pygmy Goat (I 205 At Foster)".In the ad, a woman begged for the goat's return:"My little black pygmy goat figured out how to open the gate last night and got out of the yard. She was a birthday gift and I am really worried about her. PLEASE if you found or have seen her let me know. Thank you."Animal control officials described the goat, named Poppy, as very friendly and sociable.The owner was reunited with Poppy on Tuesday afternoon.
