Every few hours each day, just like clockwork, Ninny the goat and Kona the dog start getting restless and tell Grace Bruinsma in no uncertain terms that itsa国际传媒檚 time to go for their walk.

The pair have become inseparable and look forward to their walks on a rural Aldergrove street with their companion Grace Bruinsma.

Over recent months theysa国际传媒檝e become a bit of a sensation with passing motorists, who often stop and take photos and videos of the trio trotting along 24 Avenue.

Kona the dog is still a youngster and can be a bit of a brat and escape artist, so Grace and husband Andrew keep him on a leash when hesa国际传媒檚 not in his kennel. Ninny the goat, on the other hand, is eager to follow Kona and Grace and sticks close to them during their walks without any leash or harness to restrain her.

sa国际传媒淚t started about half a year ago when I took Kona out for his exercise, Ninny started bawling that she wanted to come along with us,sa国际传媒� said Grace.

sa国际传媒淚 thought, why not? She sticks real close to us and listens to me when I tell her to stop and make room for passing cars, and stands on the shoulder or a driveway with us. And if I donsa国际传媒檛 take her she cries non-stop in her paddock.sa国际传媒�

sa国际传媒淪o many people get a kick out of it,sa国际传媒� adds Andrew. sa国际传媒淧eople stop, take photos, and ask Grace if she needs help.sa国际传媒�

The couple are hoping that Kona will grow out of his predilection for running away to the neighbours so that he doesnsa国际传媒檛 have to spend the rest of his life in his kennel. But in the meantime he needs his daily exercise, walking and running alongside Grace and Ninny.

sa国际传媒淚 usually take them out four times a day for a run and they enjoy it so much that I enjoy it too,sa国际传媒� said Grace.
