He will get very angry and grit his teeth, and perhaps kill several of your dogs, but he will not get "rattled," and he will neither fall off nor leap off to certain death, as any deer surely will do under such circumstances. There are some men, and also some animals, who do not become panicstricken, even when they are being killed, and of the latter, I think the mountain goat is one.

Small, but he must also avoid getting into a cul-de-sac from which he cannot escape. All these requirements make a goat think. He must look ahead, and plan out his line of retreat, or come to grief.
