Instagram video shows a Golden Retriever taking care of orphaned geese in her backyard
In a recent video on Instagram, Maya the Golden Retriever’s pet parents show how their pup helps babysit three orphaned geese in their backyard. In the caption, they mention that the birds have turned them and their dog into “the best goose mom/baby sitter/and flight school instructor.”
The names of “the newest graduates of Maya’s flight school” are Maverick, Gander, and Goldie. The family celebrates the trio for “getting their wings” in the adorable Instagram Reel. The video begins with the pup’s dad holding the goslings and letting Maya sniff them one by one.
During the initial period, the owners carefully supervise the Golden Retriever whenever she gets close to the new additions to their family. If the dog becomes excited and tries to play with them too enthusiastically, her parents lovingly advise her to stop to avoid any mishaps.
Gradually, the animals form a strong bond, with Maya becoming their babysitter. They eat, drink, swim, and play together near the pool or around the backyard. As the goslings grow, the owners help the birds learn how to fly. The cute babysitting video ends with the Golden Retriever’s feathered siblings successfully learning to fly.
