A famous seasonal resident of Dartmouth has passed away.
Hope for Wildlife has announced a senior member of the Sullivan’s Pond gaggle of geese died peacefully of old age.
The beloved, but sometimes feisty, geese spend their summers at the pond and their winters at Hope in Seaforth.
“Over the past few years his senior age had been slowing him down, and our team always took extra measures in the winter to make him comfortable by providing him with a specially-heated unit with plenty of soft bedding – and a variety of food options with extra toppings just for him.” – Hope for Wildlife
In a Facebook post, the wildlife rehabilitation facility writes the medical team and rehab staff did an amazing job of caring for him in his final days.
“He touched a lot of lives and he will certainly be missed by all, including his little flock.”
The other geese will be back at the pond in the spring.
