Reminds me of 1940 or 1941. When my sister was born, our mom got sick and couldn't nurse her. Someone told my parents that goat milk was better for a baby than cows milk, so my dad, his uncle, and I went to get a goat. We had a 1936 Ford tudor and the goat sat in the back seat with me!

Years ago my cousin's husband and I went, in my car, to buy three small pigs. The seller caught the three we picked and put them in burlap sacks, tying the sacks closed. We put the sacks in the rear floor of my car and started home. A short way down the road I checked the rear view mirror and found one of the pigs standing in my back seat looking back at me. :shock: Several months later we had good bacon, ham, pork chops, sausage, etc. :D

About 20 or so years ago, our friends had a miniature horse for sale. The guy who came to buy it was driving a bigger 4 door car. Most mini horses are sort of ornery and this one was no exception. The guy decided to but the horse, and our friends asked when he would come to pick it up. He said "I will take it now", put it in the back seat and away he went. I always wondered if he made it home without that little horse OK.
