Gosling killing upsets visitor

SANDPOINT — The city is finding success in using Border collies to haze Canada geese at City Beach, but there was some collateral damage earlier this month.
A gosling was mortally wounded by one of the dogs on May 21, much to the dismay of Winona Anderson, who was visiting the beach with her 17-year-old daughter.
“One of them grabbed a larger gosling and brought it up to the grassy area and had squished it,” said Anderson, a Boundary County resident.
The dog handler placed the gosling back in the water, where it succumbed to its injuries. Anderson’s 17-year-old daughter retrieved the carcass and turned it over to Sandpoint Police.
