While the rest of us were celebrating Independence Day fireworks over the weekend, Judy, a female Great Dane and Minnelli, a male goat, were experiencing a different kind of spark, one of the romantic variety. The unlikely lovebirds were found wandering the grounds of a Dallas-area wedding venue last week, KTVT reports.

As the pet blog Dogster noted, Judy and Minnelli absolutely adore each other.

The unusual couple is currently in the care of the East Lake Pet Orphanage, where Judy paces and whines and Minnelli bleats sadly every time the two are separated from one another. They spend so much time together, East Lake Pet Orphanage veterinarian Karen Fling told KTVT that Minnelli acts more like a dog than a goat.

Authorities aren't sure how the pair came to be roaming the wedding site. For now, the shelter is looking for the animals' owners, KTVT reports. But if no one comes forward, the dynamic duo will be placed in a home that can take them both.

"They act like a little married couple," Fling told KTVT. "They eat together, sleep together, walk together. They're literally inseparable."
