By looking at Rex the German Shepherd today, it seems pretty inconceivable that not too long ago he was deemed a harm to society and scheduled to be put down by local officials.
That's right, this sweet German Shepherd, whose closest friend in the world is a Goose named Geraldine, was once so dangerous that he even would attack those who fed him. It would take two people to feed Rex, one to throw the ball into his enclosure and another to distract him. He would constantly bark and grow at those who were trying to take care of him.
It was while staying at the Puriton Horse and Animal Rescue in the United Kingdom that Rex's temper changed. Sadly, Rex came to the sanctuary after he was found chained up in a scrap yard at the age of 3.
When he was 11 he met an adorable, yet angry, goose named Geraldine. When the two met, according to his owners, something changed in Rex and he immediately calmed down.
Now this odd pair are constant companions – they go on walks together, they snuggle together, and they even sleep in Rex's bed every night.
What an amazing story about second chances and the importance of friendship! Take a look at the two lovebirds below!
