‘Baa-D Boys' — Texas Officer Goes Viral for Hilarious Response To Finding a German Shephard and Goat Out on the Town Together
When the cops show up on your doorstep, the very last thing you expect to do is laugh. However, one woman in Texas couldn't hold back her giggles after an officer knocked on her door, triggering her home's doorbell camera.
The conveniently placed recording device captured the hilarious exchange between the officer and the four-legged besties that were apparently traveling around town having the best time together.According to Newsweek, the doorbell camera was rolling as the officer walked up to the home, followed closely by the dog, and then the goat. The officer spoke into the camera as he tried to identify where these two belonged, asking the homeowner — who wasn't home at the time, according to the publication — if she knew the animals before explaining what was going on, even if he didn't believe it himself.
"Do you happen to know these... this dog," he asked the camera with a smile on his face. Just a few minutes later he can be heard describing the pair as a German Shephard and a goat before exasperatedly throwing his hands up in the air.
The video appears to have been taken in Houston, Texas. And while that isn't exactly a rural part of the Lone Star State, it's clear that some areas are a bit more farm-friendly than others.What we wouldn't give to find out how this interaction turned out once the pair ended up where they were supposed to be, and whether they got into any legal trouble as a result. While the pair looked as thick as thieves on the doorbell camera, it's unlikely that they went on a crime spree during their fun afternoon out together, so we're pretty sure the animal besties got off with nothing more than a warning.

Russia's New Deadly Glide Bomb Revealed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Russia has introduced a new guided glide bomb into its full-scale invasion, which marks Moscow's push to develop aerial weapons to bombard Ukraine's infrastructure. Ukrainian authorities said that Russia's new UMPB-5 guided aerial bombs had been dropped by Sukhoi Su-34 fighter jets on two regions in the last two months amid testing of the new weapon. Analysis shared with Newsweek by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a Washington, D.C., think tank, said that the glide bomb was part of Russia's growing efforts to develop cheap standoff guided munitions. Newsweek has contacted the Russian Defense Ministry via email for comment.

File photo: Ukrainian rescue workers survey the rubble of a residential building hit during a Russian overnight drone and missile strike in Kyiv, Ukraine on June 23, It Matters Before Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Moscow underestimated how many glide bombs and other guided munitions it would need. Russia's glide bombs before the war were relatively expensive and so used sparingly. The FDD's John Hardie said Russia's failure to destroy most of Ukraine's air defenses at the invasion's start pushed Moscow to swiftly develop cheap glide bombs with standoff range that will allow its air force to play a greater role. What To Know Ukrainian authorities said the UMPB-5 was first used in Ukraine's Sumy region and then on two consecutive days of strikes on the city of Kharkiv on July 24 and 25; one attack hit a hospital. In the second instance, a Su-34 released the bomb about 65 miles away from Russia's neighboring Belgorod region; this is according to Spartak Borysenko from the Kharkiv Prosecutor's Office, which investigates such attacks as war crimes. Borysenko said Russia is still testing the weapon and that its exact characteristics are not yet known. But the name of the UMPB-5 glide bomb suggests it is a derivative of the UMPB D-30SN, which was first seen in spring 2024, the FDD said. The latter model has a longer range than the 50 miles of its predecessor and has warhead that weighs 2.5 times more, at around 550 pounds. Cheap glide bombs are playing a greater role in Russia's aggression with Moscow; an average of 160 were dropped each day in July 2025, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky—eight times more than spring 2023. The main one used is the UMPK, or "Universal Gliding and Correction Module," first seen in January 2023. It is designed to fit on dumb bombs and was initially employed with the FAB-500 M-62, a 1,100-pound-class high-explosive bomb, but since adapted for bombs of various sizes. Borysenko said that Moscow started using a modified UMPK with larger wings and a range of at least 60 miles in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions in May. With further testing, this range could increase, as suggested by a Russian Telegram channel. Russia is also developing low-cost air-launched cruise missiles, such as the recently unveiled S8000 BanderoL, which can be launched via remotely piloted aircraft. What People Are Saying John Hardie, deputy director of FDD's Russia Program, said Moscow is using a new UMPB-5 guided glide bomb, which: "appears to be a more-powerful derivative of a bomb introduced last year, reflecting the Russian Air Force's efforts to develop a growing variety of cheap standoff guided munitions." Spartak Borysenko, from the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, said: "UMPB-5 is a new ammunition that the Russians began using about two months ago … they are currently testing it, and the exact characteristics are not known for certain." What Happens Next Hardie said that details about these new munitions remain scarce, but Russia's Air Force and Naval Aviation are focused on producing large quantities of inexpensive standoff munitions. Whether Russia will address its shortcomings in destroying enemy air defenses is a problem "that will be much harder to solve," Hardie added.
