[quote]One man and his constant companion are becoming a bit of a tourist attraction in a Co Londonderry village.
Moneymore man Tommy McWilliams has been taking his gander for a dander after saving him from being stoned by youths in a local park 13 years ago.
And Bertie the goose has been at Tommy's side ever since the 74-year-old rescued him.
"The young lads were stoning him with airguns and pellets, things like that so I just brought him off the pond," explained Tommy.
He was taken home to recuperate with a daily visit to the pond. But, when it was time for Bertie to return to the water permanently - he wouldn't stay.
He waddled back home to Tommy's house where he's remained ever since.
The two are now a familiar sight on their daily walks, especially at the local shop where Bertie waits at the door while his companions stocks up.
Tommy told UTV that the goose keeps the house as safe as any guard dog.
Bertie, who has reached the awkward teenage stage, doesn't like women, it seems he wants to be bachelor Tommy's only feathered friend.
The 15-year-old bird also kept Tommy's spirits up when he was receiving treatment for cancer recently and now the goose is spoiled.
With the average lifespan of a goose around 40 years, the pair have years of friendship to come.
"He's a spoilt rascal, surely," the pensioner admitted.[/quote]

That's lovely.
Thats neat.
But personally, I hate geese. We have them all over the golf course I live by, and their mean as shit.

I agree, the geese in my neighborhood shit all over the docks and our little fishing boats, and attack people who are walking by. Also, they are the loudest fucking monsters alive, I swear.
Geese live to 40 years? What? Heart warming little tail though

Geese can be fucking scary
they look at you, reach towards you with their long bendy neck, and hisssssss loudly.
They are like a duck with a snake attached on the front
Silly goose

Don't forget they have teeth on their tongues.
