There should be no stigma between goats and their role as pets in the world anymore. Sure, they are stereotypically livestock you'll find while driving through back country roads, but they're also adorably quirky and unique animals that can make amazing pets if you learn how to take care of them properly, and they're making their way across pet lines in today's century.

A lot goes into being able to care for a goat including feed, fencing, medical care, property size and more, but once you get ahold of what you need to know and do, you'll get nothing but love and cuddles (and of course disagreements like any other kid). It's all worth it in the end.

Here are eight photogenic reasons as to why goats might make a better pet than Sparky the dog:

1. No dogs were harmed in the making of this clip.

2. A goat in a sweater – what more can you ask for besides a goat in a sweater AND booties?

3. I bet a goat would love to sleep at the end of your bed, too.

4. Kisses for everyone.

5. When they do something they know they shouldn't have...

6. "Love"

7. Much cuter than a dog on a trampoline if I do say so myself.

8. Head butts are probably a goat's specialty.

Now it's time to do one of two things: watch youtube videos of goats for 15 hours straight, or get an actual goat. It's your call.
