Rescue goat Polly was suffering from anxiety until one day her owner got her a duck costume that changed the goat’s life forever! The poor animal is blind, has neurological problems and is severely underweight. Little did her owner know that the duck costume she got from the kid’s section at Marshalls would help her goat go from anxious and stressed, to all zen and chill! “As soon as I put it on her, she just instantly got calm,” Leanne Lauricella from Goats Of Anarchy told The Dodo.
Before that, Polly would be frantically running around and crying if she couldn’t find her owner. She would also show some other anxiety related behavior. “She’ll find a corner of a wall in the house, and she’ll just start sucking on the wall,” says Lauricella. “So all the corners in our house have these little suck marks from her mouth.”
Well, these days are over, all thanks to the duck outfit. “There’s something about that duck costume that calms her” Lauricella says. “She goes into a little trance. She just closes her eyes and she’s out.”

Also why is she in a trolly?? it looks very unnatural & uncomfortable!I am delighted she is doing well but I think the owner could take the goats needs and natural behaviour on board a bit more!
She fell asleep so I doubt it was that uncomfortable...
I would guess that if a goat was unhappy it would make it's feelings pretty clear by butting and kicking everything in sight.
Yeah why is she not on a leash, so she can move around a litlle bit.
Well since she is blind she defo wouldn't be headbuttin anything in sight........And as for her being asleep, where you there?? How do you know she's asleep?
As nice as this story is: how did they get the idea to put a goat in a duck costume at the first place? o_O
My aunt has a pet goat and when she was small she bought her little dresses from petsmart that are for dogs. She wore them when they walked around town.
Probably the same way people decide to put costumes on their dogs
Why wouldn't you put a goat in a duck costume? It's pure, unadulterated genius!
Probably acts like those thunder shirts for dogs. There's a security in being wrapped up.
I suffer from anxiety disorder. Where can I get this costume for myself :)?
