Humane Society workers' actions showcased all that is good continued from p.12 moned by residents who had found the very young goose walking aimlessly near the river. Goslings of this age are not usually away from their parents and these men had to find a family for the baby. Time was running out. Hours before, my husband and I had seen a family of nine feathery babies with their parents proudly skimming the waters along Sixteen Mile Creek. We told the officers and immediately they took off to try to locate this goose family, which they did. When the entourage of geese came close enough to shore, the young officer, Dan, skillfully slipped the orphaned gosling into the group of goslings and off swam the newly enlarged goose family, mother, father and all. Dan explained that geese have so many babies that the parents do not count them and so the adoptive baby will be raised as one of the mother's own. It was thrilling to watch and apparently these Humane Society rescues happen several times annually in Oakville. The day before, the officers had rescued an entire goose family, with 10 babies, from the roof of a city building. This is just a day in the life of this wonderful organization who have the interests of our wildlife at heart. It was a thrilling day for all of us in attendance. Well done boys. Very impressive. We are even sending a donation to show our thanks. It restores our faith in humanity and showcases all that is good in mankind.
