Canada goose (Branta canadensis)

English: in 1902, a Canada goose landed on a steamer outside Metlakatla, British Columbia and rode it into port, where it met and befriended a local dog. As of 1904, it was the dog's constant companion, protecting the dog from other dogs, and from people who it felt were hostile.
