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 it鈥檚 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 they鈥檝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 he鈥檚 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.

鈥淚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,鈥� said Grace.

鈥淚 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 don鈥檛 take her she cries non-stop in her paddock.鈥�

鈥淪o many people get a kick out of it,鈥� adds Andrew. 鈥淧eople stop, take photos, and ask Grace if she needs help.鈥�

The couple are hoping that Kona will grow out of his predilection for running away to the neighbours so that he doesn鈥檛 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.

鈥淚 usually take them out four times a day for a run and they enjoy it so much that I enjoy it too,鈥� said Grace.

鈥淭hey know exactly when it鈥檚 time for their run and they tell me, loud and clear.鈥�
