Shouldn't this goose be wearing Birkensquawks ?



While walking alongside his owners in urban or suburban areas, Gator often has to cross many blocks of asphalt and concrete. All that rough terrain takes a toll on his feet, so his people commissioned a special pair of Teva sandals for their bird.

My doggie likes her booties when we go hiking. At first she walked around like she was walking through deep puddles, but eventually they get used to it and seem to understand the benefit.

Very cool photo. But, I might suggest closed-toe shoes for those feet...
