Ali Tisdall lives on a farm in Spring Creek, a small town in Madison County, North Carolina, where she looks after a wide range of animals.
Although she has a soft spot for all creatures, dogs have always held a special place in her heart. That love inspired her to start a small rescue group that helps dogs in her community.
What began as a modest effort eventually grew into a larger project, including the creation of Pretty Sweet Acres, an online store for farmers and farm enthusiasts.
Still, the most amusing twist in her work came soon after she introduced goats to her farm.
An Unplanned Running Crew
Many of the dogs Ali rescued ended up becoming permanent companions on the farm.
One afternoon, she headed out for a jog along the quiet country road, expecting a simple outing with her pups.
To her surprise, when she looked back, she saw that her goats had decided to tag along, trotting right behind her and the dogs.
Ali couldn’t help but laugh and quickly pulled out her phone to record the scene, later sharing it on her Instagram, @prettysweetacres.
“I guess I run with goats now 🐐,” she wrote in the video caption.
In the clip itself, Ali can be heard saying, “My goats won’t stop following me, you gotta be kidding,” while continuing her jog, amused at the unexpected company.
Along the way, curious farm animals peeked from behind fences, while baffled drivers slowed down to steer past the unusual group, surely asking themselves, “What is going on here!?”
By the end of the route, Ali realized her spur-of-the-moment jog with goats would be one of her funniest and most unforgettable memories.
A Running Club Nobody Predicted
That day, passing drivers in Madison County witnessed the hilarious sight firsthand.
After Ali shared the video online, thousands more got to enjoy the spectacle too.
“This is hilarious 😂,” one commenter wrote, while another added: “The dogs are wondering why the goats get to be off leash 😂.”
“This is the only run club I want to be a part of,” someone else chimed in.
Inspired by the moment, Ali officially introduced the Goat Run Club, the most lighthearted part of Pretty Sweet Acres. What began as a happy accident has now sparked plenty of smiles, and it’s safe to say more people will want to join in after seeing her video.
