EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we witness the incredible bond between two unlikely friends - "Rats" the dog and a fearless goose. This snapshot captures a moment of pure joy and camaraderie that transcends species boundaries. "Rats" an old soldier who gained fame during his service at a frontline Army border post in Northern Ireland, now enjoys a well-deserved retirement after enduring more than two years of dedicated duty. However, fate had other plans for him when he suffered a devastating heart attack last year, leading to his honorable discharge as medically unfit. Despite facing adversity, "Rats" continues to embrace life with enthusiasm and resilience. In this delightful encounter, he comes face to face with an equally spirited companion - a bold goose. Their interaction is filled with laughter and playfulness, reminding us that friendship knows no bounds. This photograph not only showcases the unique interspecies relationship between these two remarkable creatures but also encapsulates the spirit of unity and harmony that can exist among all living beings. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, love and connection have the power to transcend differences. Taken in September 1981 by Mirrorpix photographers from Memory Lane Prints collection, this image radiates warmth and humor from an era gone by. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of friendship across time and species – an everlasting symbol of compassion in our world.
