After Jimmy the baby goat was shunned by his mother, a New Brunswick man took the kid on a two-week road trip across Canada.

Jimmy might only be six weeks old, but he's already seen more of Canada than most human kids. Scheduled to return home early Wednesday after a two-week road trip from New Brunswick to Alberta, Jimmy the goat has travelled roughly 8,000 kilometres with owner Hector Aubertin and his daughter.

"It was obvious that I wasn't going to be able to go and not take him because he just wouldn't have it," Aubertin said. "If I'm not there with him, then mom's not there and he's having a fit, he just bleats and screams." While Jimmy will eventually sleep in an outdoor pen when he grows, Aubertin has every intention of raising Jimmy like a "big dog" and is even trying to house train him.

Stopping along the way in places like Niagara Falls, Sudbury, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Drumheller, Alta., Jimmy the "unbelievably friendly" goat has brought smiles and starred in dozens of photos.
