Four tame goats who live at Kew Little Pigs in Amersham were taken overnight on Wednesday, December 11.
Devastated owner Olivia Mikhail feared the adorable animals had been taken for meat and an urgent appeal was launched for their safe return.
Hope started to fade for the beloved creatures, despite thousands of shares across social media.
However, on Monday, December 16, a member of the public got in touch to say they had spotted the missing goats in a field in Farnham Royal, a short distance from the farm.
Olivia shared: “We raced to the field and we had our goat folder with pictures of Blitzen, Rose, Sunday and Comet as we knew if they were there, we would have to prove that they were ours.
“Immediately, we spotted Blitzen as he has very distinctive markings, and then Rose too. We called the police and spoke to the owner of the land, who said that they had bought the goats from a man who turned up in a van last week.”
Good luck struck again on Monday, January 13, as Comet and Sunday were also located not far from where Blitzen and Rose were found.
The goats were underweight but are now on their way back to full health.
As a result of the break-in, the farm has launched an appeal to help tighten security even further at the site through enhanced CCTV and other measures.
Olivia said: “We have been so grateful to everyone who has supported us through this awful time. We really do thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.”
