This week Brandi's Future Husband is a:

  • Problem solver,
  • Book author
  • Animal lover

The husband of the week caught Brandi's attention, because he went to great lengths to try to relieve his stress. In fact, he says that he was so stressed with his daily life that he decided to live as a goat. His name is Thomas Thwaites, also known as “goat man.” He is 34 and he tells me that he decided to live as a goat after he had dog sat for his niece, saying that watching how that dog was always happy and joyous, got him to thinking, “wouldn’t it be nice to just have a break from all of this stress.”

He thought that no one would support him, but then he wrote to a company called the Wellcome Trust, and they gave him a small grant. With the money he built his own prosthetic limbs and went about walking in a field with goats. Thomas lasted three days in the Alps and wrote a book about his experience called, GoatMan: How I Took A Holiday From Being a Human .
