While enjoying a warm cup of coffee, Officer James Givens didn’t anticipate a mother goose coming up to his police vehicle, erratically honking and pecking at his car door. Officer Givens, who has a fear of geese, threw bread at her in an attempt to make her leave. Yet, like all mothers, her gosling was in trouble and she returned to Givens again and again. It wasn’t until Givens stepped out of his vehicle and followed the goose did he see what had her upset.
Her gosling was tangled in a balloon string. Officer Givens called the Wildlife Control, but they couldn’t offer assistance and he was at a loss as what to do. The mother goose continued to honk and keep her goslings from entering the water. Officer Givens could have walked away then and returned to his job, but he didn’t. Instead, he used his resources as a police officer to bring help to this desperate mother goose.
