Heartwarming Reunion: Shelter’s “Loudest” Dog Finds Peace with Waiting Dad
Goose, a hound dog with a unique and distinctive honking cry, has faced numerous upheavals in his life. From experiencing homelessness on multiple occasions to finding solace at the Adopt an Angel shelter, Goose’s journey has been anything but ordinary. What sets him apart is not only his vocalization but also his unwavering longing for a loving family. In a heartwarming turn of events, Goose’s path crosses with his original owner, leading to a reunion that brings peace and happiness to both of their lives.
Goose’s Unique Voice and Journey
Goose’s barks, which resemble the honks of a goose, have earned him the title of the shelter’s “loudest” dog. Jill Jones, director of Adopt An ANGEL, describes his distinctive vocalizations as a hound bark that could win contests, emphasizing that Goose often expresses anxiety and a sense of abandonment through his piercing cries. However, when he is content, the absence of noise indicates his happiness.
Goose’s story began when he arrived at Adopt an Angel as an injured puppy, separated from his mother and emitting his signature honks and howls. Tragically, his own mother had bitten off one of his ears during a feeding, leaving him with a unique appearance that adds to his charm. Despite his physical difference, Goose’s adoption ad humorously acknowledges his unique look, inviting potential adopters to appreciate his distinctiveness.
Family Challenges and Heartrending Longing
Although Goose was eventually adopted by a family, unfortunate circumstances led to his return as an adult. Clashes with their other dog and the arrival of a baby with a rare skin disorder necessitated his departure. The family’s love for Goose was evident in their devastation upon giving him up, highlighting the emotional bond they had formed.
During his stay at the shelter, Goose’s longing for his family was palpable through his heartrending howls and cries. His desire for a permanent, loving home sparked the determination of the staff at Adopt an Angel to find him the perfect match. Their efforts ultimately led to an adoption fair, where fate intervened and a friend of Goose’s previous owner recognized him by his distinctive missing ear.
