DENVER, CO – Early inhabitants of the Rocky Mountain Front Range shared the land with herds of free-roaming buffalo, and even now Denver’s Genesee Park boasts the only city-owned free roaming bison herd in the world. But that’s only the start of a Mile High City safari. 

DENVER -- The saga of a Canada Goose that was shot with an arrow has apparently come to a happy end.

The goose, which was first spotted at Washington Park on February 12, was captured by an animal rescue group volunteer Thursday at Garland Park in east Denver, where it moved on its own.

It was taken to Homestead Animal Hospital in Centennial where the arrow was to be removed.

For more than a month, volunteers and well-intentioned bystanders tried to grab a hold of the goose to get it some medical help, but the bird constantly eluded capture.

The person who shot the goose has not been found.
