Goose survives arrow being shot through its head

OLD LYME, Conn. (AP) — Animal control officers are keeping tabs on a goose who has been wondering around Old Lyme with an arrow through its head.

The Day of New London has posted video of the bird which was first spotted near Rogers Lake in February.

Old Lyme assistant animal control officer Lizabeth Gode tells the newspaper they have been using food and nets in an attempt to try and lure and capture the bird. But she says that because it can still fly, those attempts have been unsuccessful.

She said once the bird is captured a veterinarian will be called in to determine whether the arrow can be removed.

In the meantime, she says the goose appears to be doing fine.
