Brave breastfeeding mum hailed 'hero' after tackling bald eagle in incredible bid to save pet goose

A mum of three has been hailed a "hero" after a video of her daring rescue of her pet goose went viral.

Brave Cait Oakley was captured on a security camera outside her home in North Sannich, Canada.

Footage shows her dash to rescue Frankie the goose after she spotted a bald eagle attacking him.

The showdown with the eagle took place as Cait tried to fend it off the goose while still keeping hold of her then four-month-old baby.

The eagle can be seen grabbing the goose by the neck and dragging it to the ground as Cait yells in the background, Mirror UK reports.

Then Cait, who appears to be dressed only in her husband’s boxer shorts, makes a run at the eagle, shooing it away from Frankie.

"Drop it, let go! Give me my goose back!" she yells at the eagle.

She later uploaded the video to TikTok and explained: "We have lost three chickens in the last week from what I was told was eagles which I believed hawks were preying on them but watch Frankie (our female goose) get taken.

"Mama bear mid breast feeding protecting her sweet Frankie."

Cait was praised a "hero mum" for her multi-tasking skills to keep her pet safe.

Viewers couldn't resist sharing their funny takes on her action.

"The mum is on another level, I speak for everyone: You go mama," one said and a second wrote: "Your kids was probably thinking 'meals on the wheels?'"

"This was 100% the most bada**, amazing, award-deserving feature I have ever seen, bravo ma'am!" another added.
