Editor’s note: This post is a Care2 favorite. It was originally published on December 6, 2013. Enjoy!

Have you heard the expression “opposites attract but likes stick?” It seems this applies to non-humans as well. A sweet story about a German shepherd dog headed for death row and a wayward goose with attitude issues comes from Puriton Horse and Animal Rescue in Somerset, England. The rescue’s goal is “to stop suffering in the animal world, and to provide a home for any cat, dog, horse or rabbit.”

The dog named Rex has been at Puritan Rescue for about 8 years. He was three years old when he was rescued from the end of a chain in a junkyard. The first shelter he was sent to was ready to euthanize him because his bad behavior rendered him unadoptable. That’s when Puritan Rescue got involved.

Rex was even a challenge to feed, requiring one person to distract him while another put his bowl of food at the opposite end of his area. Rex was not responding to training of any kind but was guaranteed to live out his life at Puritan.

No one thought Rex would change his ways until his heart was smitten by a goose named Geraldine. At first, the rescue staff was cautious because Rex was known to eat birds. Let’s face it, he is a dog!
