This tourism company lets you walk with a gang of goats along the Newfoundland coast
Nigerian dwarf goats are cute, cuddly and curious — and make for entertaining hiking pals, says the owner of Button Adventures.
One Newfoundland company is marrying two of life's simplest pleasures: coastal hiking along the rugged North Atlantic and frolicking with the world's tiniest — and perhaps most mischievous — goats.
"Nigerian dwarf goats are very curious, interesting creatures," says owner Lita Mae Button, laughing as she pulls detritus from one of her stubborn companion's mouths.
Anything new, Button adds, the goats love getting their noses into, making for an unpredictable afternoon for tour guests.
Button Adventures offers two group walks a week along the coast of Broad Cove, north of Carbonear, with Button's six four-hooved helpers: Holly, Ivy, Champ, Penelope, Pippa and Carolyn.
