The barnyard runaway wandered in to a Tim Hortons and refused to exit the coffee and doughnut shop, CBC News reports. Every time the employees got the animal to leave, it just reentered through the automatic doors. Finally, the police were called, and they apprehended the four-legged vagrant. They visited many farmhouses to try to return the goat home, but no one recognized the stray, so they dropped it off at an animal hospital until the rightful owners are found. \[[CBC](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/stubborn-goat-refuses-to-leave-sask-tim-hortons-1.3247310?cmp=rss)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4053225/goat-donut-shop-tim-hortons/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4053225/goat-donut-shop-tim-hortons/"},"headline":"This Goat Just Did Not Want to Leave the Doughnut Shop","datePublished":"2015-09-28T23:48:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:20.265Z","description":"The barnyard runaway seemed attached to a Tim Hortons in Saskatchewan","url":"https://time.com/4053225/goat-donut-shop-tim-hortons/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Canada"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4053225/goat-donut-shop-tim-hortons/","name":"This Goat Just Did Not Want to Leave the Doughnut Shop"}}]}] ```
