Bernard Levine, a retired veterinarian from Toms River, New Jersey, helped capture the goose, perform life-saving surgery and then transport it to the state's largest bird rehabilitation facility.
"This is a smart goose," said Dr Levine, 82. "He happened to come into the yard of a veterinarian that could take care of him."
After it recovered at The Raptor Trust, the goose was released last week into a stream in a wooded area on the trust's property. "It feels great to see him free and liberated, enjoying life the way a goose should," Dr Levine said, as the goose preened and waded downstream.
