Frostie the snowman baby goat is a jolly happy soul today, after a sweet new set of wheels has given him some newfound freedom.

The adorable snow goat was previously unable to walk, after contracting a disease known as joint navel ill shortly after his birth. The condition infected Frostie's hind joints, leaving them painfully unusable. That changed with the introduction of his cart, which, in addition to helping his joints, seems to have given his morale a clear boost as well.

A video of the happy goat, shared by Edgar's Mission, a nonprofit farm animal rescue sanctuary in Victoria, Australia, shows the newly mobile goat frolicking and wagging his tail.

If his cart looks familiar, that's because it is: Frostie's ride comes courtesy of Leon Trotsky, the piglet at Edgar's Mission who used the ride while he recovered from a crushed pelvis. Yes, those pictures are also adorable.

Photos of Frostie and his new cart, below:

    A HORRIFIED boy found a dead LIZARD in his Tesco toast as he munched his breakfast. William Evans, 10, screamed in terror after making the gruesome find - bringing his dad Marcus running from upstairs. Outraged Mr Evans, of Hawkchurch, near Axminster, Devon, said: "The poor little lad was absolutely traumatised by it. "He went to take a slice off for some toast, turned the loaf over and found the lizard stuck on the bottom." He added: "It was one of Axminster Tesco's baked in-store, multi-grain brown loaves. "The lizard had not been cooked so it must have got into the packaging and died there. "You could see the impression of its body in the bread so it must have been warm when he got in." William, a pupil at Hawkchurch Primary School, said: "I was making some toast and cut off a slice when I saw something that looked like a leaf. "So I took the wrapping off and found the lizard inside. "It certainly put me off my toast! "It was about two to three inches long." His mum Clare said it would have been even worse if William had sliced through the end with the lizard on it - and eaten it. "That would have been even more distressing," she said. Mr Evans, a volunteer church worker, said they had alerted Tesco's customer service department. He said they told him it was impossible for a lizard to get in one of their loaves because of their high level of hygiene "I am surprised they didn't tell me 'every little helps'," said angry Marcus. "They have asked me to take it into the manager but I am thinking of contacting environmental health officers. "We are keeping the lizard and loaf in the fridge for evidence." A Tesco spokesman said: "We have conducted a thorough inspection of the bakery area as well as the rest of the store. "We are confident that our robust procedures mean that there was no food safety risk to the product whilst it was within the store. "If the customer would like to return the product, packaging and proof of purchase to us, we will be able to investigate further."
