Goliath is a very gentle contemporary. An animal lover discovered him at a farmer in the neighborhood. When she learned that he was to be slaughtered, she asked the farmer to be allowed to buy him. She would surely find a place for him. At first he waved her off with the words, "The relatives are already waiting for the meat. But finally he relented and fortunately Goliath found a place at Gut Aiderbichl.
