00:00 You'd be forgiven for doing a double take at this site at most beaches, but not around
00:07 here. Best mates Benji the goat and Bosun the collie cross are part of the furniture
00:14 in North Haven and don't mind a bit of kidding about.
00:20 Because he's with a dog or dogs all the time, he's a dog with horns. That's how we treat
00:25 him.
00:26 Benji enjoys taking in the scenery, dabbling in a little landscaping and hanging out at
00:32 the local cafe.
00:33 It's been a hard day at the office.
00:36 Everyone loves Benji. He's so polite, he's so mellow, he's just something different but
00:41 yet behaves like any normal pet.
00:43 And it's not just the affection that keeps Benji coming back.
00:47 He loves his fruit toast, his special fruit toast.
00:50 He might be a goat with a lot to gloat about, but life wasn't always this good.
00:57 Benji was born into drought on a farm in Armidale.
01:00 He had no commercial value so the owners were looking forward to a good home for him. So
01:07 we said we can do that and here he is.
01:11 And how does a goat keep his goatee looking this good?
01:15 Once a month he goes through the dog wash or thereabouts, which he loves because everything
01:19 is at the right temperature and he loves the hair dryer that finishes the whole thing.
01:24 A trip to town is all part of a regular day for this toilet trained dog with horns.
01:30 There are a lot of people in this town who have a lot of enjoyment out of Benji.
01:35 Just a man, his dog and goat enjoying the good life.
