"They are a unique little bread. They're the smallest breed of goat," Sailasaid, who explains that the animals are known for their unique colours, patterns and turquoise blue eyes.

She said there's no shortage of mischief in her home, where the goats are welcome, and that the pets each have their own unique personalities.

"They just make you feel better. They're so compassionate. They can sense your feelings and emotions," Sailasaid.

Fun... and fashion?

And beyond the antics, she'salso taken to dressing up some of the goats in different outfits.

"They look so cute. I just had to do it," Saila said, who adorns them with necklaces and tutus.

"It just kind of snowballed into something."

Now, the goats are spreading the joy across the Island. Sailahas started a Facebook page featuring the goats, called Beach Goats P.E.I., and has brought them into town.

She also gets them involved indifferent events where people can see the dwarf goats all dressed up.
