A Canada goose in Michigan found himself in a scary situation when he became frozen to the very sand he nested in. Thankfully, he wouldn't be trapped long because Good Samaritans stepped up and help wasn't far away.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement took to Facebook to share about the frozen Canada goose and subsequent rescue efforts.

Some Good Samaritans had attempted to free the poor thing, but all of their rescue efforts proved futile. Despite multiple attempts by different people, the goose remained frozen and stuck.
