Firefighters in Madrid, Spain saved the day in a big way recently when they came to the rescue of a goat stranded on a fifth-floor window ledge, outside a vacant apartment.
Nobody knows how the goat found himself on the window ledge -- but the goat was lucky that a neighbor spotted him up there and called the fire department for help.
Firefighters were careful not to startle the animal with sudden movements -- and used carrots and lettuce to lure him to safety. Their care and expertise paid off as the goat eventually stepped onto a nearby, safer balcony.
The goat was then taken to the Madrid Emergency Veterinary Service for care, while authorities attempted to locate his owner.
