Guide Goose of the Day: Renata Kursa, a villager from Poland, says she was heartbroken after her dog Baks lost his sight in a recent accident.
But her four-year-old goose Buttons was more than happy to lend her eyes to Baks, leading him with her neck, or directing him with her honks.

“[G]radually Buttons got him up on his feet and starting walking him around,” says Kursa. “They’re inseparable now – they even chase the postman together.”

I hadn't seen him for years (I had been overseas) and I went to visit him. He told me to hop the fence
and go around the corner of his barn to check out his new tractor.

No new tractor, but the flock of geese spotted me about the same time I spotted them and chased me...
heads forward and wings flappin' and honks honkin'.
.
I'm pretty sure I didn't even TOUCH the fence on the way back over -- terrifying.

MiddleFingerMomTom was standing in his front doorway... laughing his ass off.

Farm humor.
