In an emotional turn of events, a family in Neligh, Nebraska, has been allowed to keep a blind baby goat in their home for another month after they petitioned the city council to alter a local ordinance banning goats within city limits.
According to local news station KTIV, Rebecca and David Williams fell in love with Gizmo the goat when they encountered him on a farm in nearby Elgin. Gizmo, who is now a month old, had reportedly been abandoned by his mother and had been hurt after being trampled by other members of his herd.

Big Apple Radio reports Gizmo will return to the Elgin farm once the 30 days are up. The farm has reportedly agreed to provide a protective cage for the blind animal, and the Williamses say that they will continue to be in the goat’s life.
“He will go back to the farm I got him from, in a specially made pen and he will be my goat,” said Rebecca Williams, per US92.
