Phonetic Lesson

Someone posted a facebook status last night that still has me completely baffled:

"We are grieving the loss of our beloved goat..."

A sentence I could never have created even in the depths of my twisted brain. Aside from the obvious oxymoronic issue that is blatant in this sentence, try saying it out loud. It's even more outrageous. Just by virtue of the way the word "goat" is pronounced proves it can never follow the word "beloved". I mean, really, the world beloved should never be used to describe any word beginning with a hard [g]. Isn't that a phonetic rule?
