behind the scenes<br />
DANA MCGREGOR<br />
BY VANESSA PLAKIAS<br />
Let’s see, shirtless surfer—once soccer pro—<br />
wearing a Captain America Goat cape while<br />
“rainbowing” a soccer ball over his goat …Yep!<br />
This was going to be a super fun shoot!<br />
When I first arrived, I met Cody. He had just finished up a surf lesson<br />
with Dana. Cody was thrilled to surf on a board with a goat. He just<br />
went for it! It’s a memory Cody and his family will cherish forever.<br />
At one point, we heard some commotion behind us.<br />
Someone had lost their dog and good samaritans were trying<br />
to help the nervous pup. They needed a leash and Dana was<br />
quick to grab his goat rope to lend a hand. Everyone was<br />
grateful the dog made it back to its owners safe and sound.<br />
During our shoot a paramedic/surfer, Neil, and his mom came<br />
over to meet the goats. Neil went in for a milk refresher right from<br />
the goat’s teat! Then his mom, Diane, then me! It was warm and<br />
creamy and I asked where the chocolate and cinnamon were.<br />
