(Porter, IN) - One Christmas goose was the opposite of cooked at Indiana Dunes State Park Monday.

Bystanders reported to Indiana Conservation Officers that a Canada goose was stranded along the edge of Lake Michigan. The little goose’s feathery bottom was stuck in place on the frozen wet sand.

When Good Samaritans failed to loose the goose, Porter Volunteer Firefighters came to the rescue.

After a little warm water treatment, the bird was freed and taken to a local wildlife veterinarian facility for treatment.
