What a heart warming video of people helping animals and animals being attuned, sentient, uniquely intelligent beings.

That made my day, as early as it is. Blessings

4 years ago we caught a goose with a broken wing and I took it to a refuge where it lived the life of Riley.

I notice a goose limping almost every year, and they are almost impossible to catch because they can still fly. A worker at the golf course saw the following; a goose was swimming in a pond and snapping turtle latched on to his/her leg and that's how he/she got the limp.

Last year I came upon a huge snapping turtle a ways away from the pond. His shell was laden with pond scum/debris so I decided to lighten his load and started scraping the scum off his shell. The ungrateful SOB tried to take a bite out of my 7 iron.

I've heard a number of stories of geese protecting their mates. This is one of the cooler ones.
