Golden retriever jumps into water for ball, brings back live baby goose instead

This is the amusing moment a golden retriever was told off by her owner after she fetched -- a LIVE BABY GOOSE.

Patty Carter, 28, captured the moment her three-year-old her dog Violet returned with a live gosling gently in her mouth after chasing her ball into a pond.

The video shows Violet swimming back to her owner with the gosling in her mouth when Patty, in disbelief, tells her to put the animal down.

“She has NEVER done this before, said Patty, from Arimo, Idaho.

“Violet has chased animals, but has never actually caught anything.”

After gently letting go of the gosling unharmed, Violet casually swam away and turned her attention elsewhere.

The funny incident happened when Patty and her pooch were visiting one of Violet’s favorite spots, the Together Treasure Valley Dog Island in Ann Morrison Park, Boise.

The gosling shook off the incident and promptly returned to its family, whilst Violet received a strong talking-to about fetching live animals.

The video was filmed on May 19.
