[nagdu] A goose is hissing at my dog!

[Craig Heaps via nagdu]

I have heard they can be aggressive and can hurt you.  My wife grew up with 
pet geese and says they were nasty critters.

The other reason not to let your dog go near them is that -- I believe --  
they're protected by federal law, and letting your dog check them out might 
be perceived as some sort of violation.

Craig and Chase and who once wanted to go see a big male duck but didn't get 
to.
