Many shoppers and staff have noticed the goose’s bad mood and felt upset for him. They are hoping that the goose can overcome the sadness and open his heart to another love.
“He lost his own partner and for that he is depressed and sad,” Sayad Rasulnezhad, a LCBO employee, told Global News. “I cried, actually.”
“I think he should be looking for a mate, and we should be helping him,” Tobias said.

Wildlife experts say geese typically mate for life unless one of the members of a pair dies, so the goose’s situation looks more tragic. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources explains that most Canada geese pair with a mate between two and three years of age. Considering that they live 10-25 years, they spend a significant amount of years together.
