It was a regular day on the job for this Cincinnati police officer until he heard a knock on the door from a mother in distress – a mother goose, that is.

Sergeant James Givens was sitting in his police car when the goose started tapping persistently at his door. Thinking the bird was just hungry, he initially ignored the knocking.

"It kept pecking and pecking and normally they don't come near us," Givens told WKRC. "Then it walked away and then it stopped and looked back so I followed it and it led me right over to [a] baby that was tangled up in all that string."

"Well she has a couple of kids of her own and I guess that motherly instinct must've kicked in because it was like they communicated. The mother goose didn't bother her," Givens said. "So Specialist Charron came and untangled it. It took her awhile because it was all wrapped up."
