MAN ARRESTED AFTER BRINGING A GOAT TO A JOB INTERVIEW, SAYS IT WAS HIS REFERENCE DELMONT, PA — Casey Underwood, 26, was arrested for trespassing after leading a full-grown goat into a corporate office lobby for a scheduled job interview, telling security the goat was "his strongest reference and available to speak." goat was fitted with a small laminated name tag reading "GARY, CHARACTER WITNESS" Underwood reportedly requested the goat be allowed to sit in on the interview itself receptionist says the goat ate part of a potted plant within the first two minutes Underwood had allegedly listed the goat's owner as a professional reference on his resume security footage shows him attempting to walk the goat directly into the elevator HR staff say the interview panel had prepared standard behavioral questions and were not equipped to accommodate livestock, though one panelist reportedly admitted the goat "had good posture." "We've had people show up with dogs, we've had people bring parents," said building security officer Dale Ferris, 8 years on staff. "A goat listed as a reference on an actual resume was a first for this lobby." Underwood was cited for trespassing and escorted off the property with the goat, whose leash had to be untangled from a lobby chair before either of them could leave. He reportedly asked security whether he could still email a follow-up thank-you note, and whether Gary should be copied. The company has since updated its front desk policy to prohibit "animals presented as professional references," a line that never needed to exist before this week. Some candidates bring a portfolio. Casey brought Gary, and Gary brought opinions. Images and full story copyrighted TBC Viral Media 2026. #funny #comedy #fblifestyle #satire #FORENTERTAINMENTONLY
