A goat rescued from a ledge below a bridge in Kansas City is recovering and is expected to be reunited with its owner on Wednesday
An escaped mountain goat that somehow got stuck under a Kansas City bridge has survived a rocky rescue effort and has been reunited with the owners who suspect he was stolen from their farm two months ago.
Hoping to guide it to safety, a driver managed to get a rope around Chug's neck, but that only added to the danger, Fugate said. When firefighters tried to rappel over the side of the bridge to capture the goat, he spooked and tried to jump to the next platform. But his hooves slipped and the rope caught, causing the goat to hang from his neck, not moving.
“He miraculously has no broken bones,” Fugate said. The goat had been clambering along bridge supports that are as much as 80 feet above the ground, a fall he wouldn't have survived, she said.
