The Toronto Police Service’s marine unit came to the rescue of a tiny gosling they say was struggling to swim Wednesday.
Officers told CTV News they feared the baby bird would drown after they found it swimming in circles. They decided to scoop the bird up and nurse it back to health.
Officers later released the gosling back into Toronto Harbour.
“I put it back in the water and as our boat was starting to back away, this poor little guy is swimming back towards his lifeline, which was us and that was probably the hardest part for me,” Const. Jeff Clarke told CTV Toronto Wednesday.
Police say the bird was taken in by a group of Geese.
