Awww: Goose Befriends Man With Cancer


No apologies from us. We just thought this would be a nice "feel good" story for your reading pleasure. As our regular readers know, we like to have some "small animal cuteness" for relief every now and then. We really do believe you get "news fatigue" and need a break!
Anyhow, here's a story of a goose that befriends a man with cancer and everybody lives happily ever after: A northern Idaho man diagnosed with terminal cancer says a usually cantankerous goose that befriended him on his walks has helped him live past doctors' predictions...."Sometimes he walks around me, sometimes he walks beside me," Lytle said of the near-daily meetings the two have. "I rub his neck, and the top of his head and down to his back. Every time I came down, he just kept coming out. I think it's pretty nice, that he'd always come to me."
