A loyal baby goat being hand reared by a human cutely follows her adoptive parent around a market while they go shopping together.<br /><br />The white doe named Curfew, after the Covid-19 restrictions, was born in March but the mother was unwell and could not breastfeed.<br /><br />Cattle rancher Suwat Phromtum took care of the infant and after spending most of his quarantine time with the kid, she became attached to him. He has since formed a special bond with the farm animal.<br /><br />The pair were recorded going shopping together in Phayao, northern Thailand, last Saturday (May 16). Suwat even rode home with her on his motorcycle.<br /><br />He said: "I came back to Thailand from the U.S when the pandemic had just started and I had to be in quarantine so I spent the time taking care of the herd in my ranch.<br /><br />"I had helped one goat deliver a baby and unfortunately the mother was weak and could not breastfeed the newborn by herself, so I had to do the job for her.<br /><br />"The kid started to get attached to me since then because I am the one who fed her since she was born and I assumed that made her think of me as her mother.<br /><br />"She always walks after me around the ranch, so when I have to go outside I bring her along if it's not too far from home.''<br /><br />The kid is also adored by the locals in the market area because she behaves more gently than typical goats, that are usually nibbling and damaging things.
