I know that area extremely well. I don’t like to see any animal in pain or scared, and am happy to see that the goose was rescued.

The goose was lucky to have been noticed in trouble, and it was good it was rescued, by the firefighters, doing an extra job here from putting out fires.

Awww, that's sweet. Most people view those geese as a nuisance, but they deserve to live, too.
