DETROIT (WXYZ) — The Detroit Goat man can't find one of his pet goats.
Owner Erick Brown told 7 Action News he hasn't seen his white therapy goat "Cutie Pie" since noon Friday. Brown said the animal normally roams across the street from his home but comes back. Cutie Pie also hangs tight with Deer, his other therapy goat, but the white goat has disappeared.
MISSING GOAT: This is one of the more interesting stories I've covered this week. Meet Cutie Pie. She's an emotional support goat, and her owner Erick Brown is worried she's been stolen. Have you seen her? @wxyzdetroit @mhumane @pet_partners @detroitpolice pic.twitter.com/sm7WvtqMqP

He is worried someone may have taken Cutie Pie from his yard on the 7000 block of Omira Street. According to Detroit police, the goat was last seen in Brown's yard on Thursday and reported missing on Friday.
“I mean I had the goat for six months and it never ventured more than like a block from my house,” Brown told reporter Jenn Schanz.
Not only does Brown want Cutie Pie back, but he says Deer is anxious for her return too. Believe it or not — he was planning to have a little marriage ceremony for the two goats in his front yard… which for now is postponed, until Cutie Pie’s return.
You may have seen him around town. In 2017, Brown was spotted walking his pet goat, Deer, through downtown Detroit and even brought Deer onto a city bus.
He relies on Cutie Pie and Deer for emotional support. Brown says he struggles communicating, and the goats help him.
“I hope they understand how special the goat is to me and return the goat. I mean if they just want to drop the goat off, I would be okay with that… I just want to get the goat back.”
