A time ago, the workers at Cape Wildlife Center in Massachusetts discovered that someone was in need of assistance. Arnold, a Wild Goose residing in a nearby pond, was observed having difficulty walking owing to an injured foot; hence, the kind staff at the center decided to admit the bird to their wildlife hospital for treatment.

As it appeared, he had a girlfriend who had been his longtime companion for years. She had sought him out and located him at the hospital; she could not refuse him moral assistance in his moment of greatest need. The center’s employees had the following to say about the goose couple: “As we proceeded to sedate Arnold and prepare him for surgery, we heard a timid knock on the clinic door.
When we turned around, we saw that his friend had waddled onto the porch and was trying to break into our clinic. She had discovered him. Arnold’s foot operation was a success, regardless of what was reported, and his partner expected and asked for nothing less.
The crew also said, “She stayed in the entranceway the whole time we were working, watching us.”The workers then positioned Arnold near the entrance and opened the door to allow the two geese to be together.
Arnold’s complete recovery will take a few weeks, but he won’t have to go through this alone. Due to his girlfriend’s concern, the clinic intends to allow her to continue visiting Arnold for the duration of his recovery.
Finally, the staff expressed the following: “They appeared far more at ease in each other’s presence.” We will make every effort to bring him back outside as soon as possible, and we will perform bandage changes and treatments at the doorway whenever possible so that his companion may check on him. “By disease and health…”
