EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hilarious and unusual snapshot from September 1977, we see Billy the goat taking his role as a guard very seriously at the open-air car show display in Willenhall Staffs. Standing tall and proud, he has confidently replaced the traditional guard dogs that were once patrolling the area. The reason behind this comical substitution becomes clear when we learn that Mr. Bill Hubball, Billy's owner, was fined £40 for contravening the Guard Dogs Act. Undeterred by this setback, Mr. Hubball ingeniously decided to employ his trusty farm animal to keep watch over the valuable cars instead. As we examine the photo closely, a sign warning visitors of a "Guard Dog Patrolling" catches our attention. However, it is evident that Billy is far from your typical canine guardian! His presence adds an element of surprise and amusement to an otherwise ordinary car show display. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the humor and creativity of people during the 1970s era. It serves as a reminder that sometimes unconventional solutions can bring unexpected joy into our lives. Dick Williams' photograph perfectly encapsulates how nobody could have predicted such an amusing turn of events at Willenhall Staffs' car show all those years ago – proving once again that animals truly do have their own unique way of making us smile.
