A woman who has spent the last eight years living with a pygmy goat takes her unusual pet out for 'walkies' and even on posh dinner dates.
Aya Shinozuka adopted the goat, called Shiropen, when he was just over a month old and they have been sharing her modest home in Tokyo ever since.
The pair do everything together from dining out in restaurants to going on long walks – either with Shiropen on his lead just like a dog, or tucked up in his pram like a baby.
Aya even washes her pet pygmy in the shower before blow drying his hair and dresses him up for special occasions such as Halloween and Christmas.
The 30-year-old adopted Shiropen when she was looking for a new pet following the death of her dog.
Over the years the pair have grown incredibly close and Aya even dons a goat mask every now to get into the mindset of her beloved pet.
