Suffield Officer Rescues Goose Tangled by Fishing Lure

A Suffield police officer answered the call when he heard about a goose in distress.

A person walking their dog in Sunrise Park on Thursday noticed the Canada goose struggling in a small pond and called police.

Officer Robert Dabkowski arrived and noticed the goose had a fishing lure stuck in its beak and had caught it on its wing.

According to police, Officer Dabkowski is an experienced fisherman and grew up raising ducks, so it was lucky he was the one to answer the call.

Officer Dabkowski was able to free the bird from the lure and send it on its way.
