Police sergeant James Givens is a Cincinnati PD veteran with over 26 years of service on the force, but he has never seen a distress call quite like this one.
Givens was just sitting in his police vehicle at a local parking spot when someone grabbed his attention by tapping the window.
At least, James thought it was someone. It was just a regular Monday morning when he was in his car and received an unexpected visit from a mother goose.
The animal wanted to grab the attention of the police officer at all costs.
“It kept pecking and pecking and normally they don’t come near us,” He told to WKRC. “Then it walked away and then it stopped and looked back so I followed it and it led me right over to [a gosling] that was tangled up in all that string.”
When the goose looked behind his back a second time and clearly wanted to communicate with the police officer, he decided to follow her. One of her children was trapped in the rope of a balloon. His little feet were moving, but he wasn’t able to set himself free.
Givens wanted to help the little goose himself but was afraid that mother goose would attack him. Luckily, he had some help from specialist Cecilia Charron.
Even though they called the SPCA Animal Rescue for help, nobody was available to help at the time. That’s why Cecilia decided to help the little animal herself.
Sergeant Givens recorded the entire thing and shared a video of the little goose being freed from the balloon en reunited with the mother, which has quickly gone viral.
Assistant Police Chief Paul Neudigate also praised Sergeant Givens and Charron for a great job.

a million likes for this, these are the posts I love seeing, people helping our little creatures…….these are the people I want to hang out with. if you are gentle and kind to an animal, you are gentle and kind to people……It comes with the territory. I trust animal lovers, more than people who don’t. if you are able to give love to one of Gods creatures, you are capable of love with humans.
