Wendy Butler contacted the Mail-Times this week after Billy the goat went missing from her home in the Horsham street.

She said Billy – who sat on the nature strip – provided enjoyment for many people. He had stood proudly on a mound of succulents for years.

Mrs Butler’s quest to find Billy appeared in Man in the Corner during the week.

Thankfully, the weekend brought good news when Billy was returned to the Butlers.

“He is a little worse for wear, but a little time with the vet and he'll be right again,” Mrs Butler said.
