Man calls police in terror after being chased by 19 thirsty goats

2026-10-19

In Mituo District, Kaohsiung, a man called 110 for help, saying he was being stalked by a herd of goats. Police searched for 40 minutes before finally discovering 19 goats enjoying the shade in the courtyard of a nearby Earth God temple. After contacting the owner, they found that the man was carrying a bucket of water, and the herd was just looking for a drink.

Surveillance camera footage shows a man holding a bucket while walking up an incline, shadowed by a herd of goats. But he isn’t their owner. He was being pursued. The frightened man scrambled to dial 110 for police assistance.

- How do you think the goats got out?
- I don’t know. Maybe their pen wasn’t latched properly.

The footage was taken along a country road in Kaohsiung’s Mituo District. Fearing that these goats might dart onto the main road and cause an accident, police searched for 40 minutes before finding 19 goats resting in the shade at a nearby Earth God temple.

After I finished up at their pen, I came down to take them out to graze, but they were all gone. I searched all over here and by the graveyard. I searched for two whole hours.

On that day, the owner had taken his 22 goats to the canal alongside their pen to graze, but 19 of them strayed off course. Exhausted and parched under the scorching sun, they spotted the man carrying a bucket and followed him.

I was about to give up and head home hoping for a miracle, when a friend called to ask if I had lost my goats. He said the police were waiting for me, so I rushed over to get them.

Fortunately, once hydrated, the goats obediently trotted home in single file behind their owner’s scooter as police kindly escorted them, bringing a heartwarming close to this “lost lamb” scare.

口渴了! 被19隻羊尾隨追著跑提水桶男嚇壞報警

2026-10-19

高雄彌陀有一名男子，日前打電話到110求助，說被羊群尾隨跟蹤，警方出動找了40分鐘，最後在附近一間土地公廟，發現多達19隻"迷途羔羊"，在廟埕集體乘涼，後來找到飼主才知道，疑似男子提著一桶水，頂著烈日的羊群口渴了，想要來討水喝。

監視器畫面拍下，一名白衣男子，拿著水桶，走在坡道上，旁邊跟了一大群羊咩咩，但他根本不是飼主，卻被迷途羔羊一路尾隨，嚇得男子趕緊打110求救。

- 你覺得羊怎麼會跑出來啊
- 不知道耶，可能籠子沒關好

地點就在高雄彌陀區的鄉間小路，就怕這群越獄羊，在馬路上亂竄，引發車禍，員警獲報趕往，足足找了40分鐘，才在附近一間土地公廟，找到19隻老神在在，在樹下乘涼的羊咩咩。

[[羊群飼主]]
“我那邊忙完對不對，羊舍那邊忙完，下來要帶他們去吃(草)，結果羊都不見了，我這邊也找，墳墓那邊也找，找了兩個小時”

原來當天飼主帶著22隻羊，沿著羊舍外的大溝渠，要去吃草，其中19隻羊咩咩，卻意外迷航，頂著烈日，又累又渴，看到提著水桶的男子，羊咩咩太想喝水，才會一路跟隨他。

[[羊群飼主]]
“本來要放棄了，看會不會奇蹟出現，就回去休息了，結果有朋友打電話來問我，羊有沒有丟掉，他說警察在等我，我就趕快去接這個羊回來”

還好喝飽水的羊咩咩，立刻變回乖乖牌，一隻跟著一隻，扭著屁股，跟在飼主機車後頭走路回家，員警也在旁暖心護送，為迷途羔羊驚魂記畫下完美句點。
