A topless Canadian mother has gone viral for saving her pet goose which was being attacked by a bald eagle. In a video, Cait Oakley is seen running topless with her baby in arms to save her pet goose Frankie from being carried away by the eagle! What a superhero! On TikTok, a video of the miraculous rescue has received 7.1 million views.
"I mean, it's definitely not something you see every day," Oakley, 31, told Canada's Chek News of the brave act, which took place on Wednesday, May 18, while she was at home with her four-month-old daughter in North Saanich.
The stay-at-home mother of three had "lost three chickens in the last week," according to the video's caption. Oakley first assumed it was a hawk until she saw her pet Sebastopol goose being swooped up by the bald eagle while she was nursing her baby while only wearing her boxer briefs.

The dramatic video begins with Frankie hysterically clucking at the front door of Oakley's house, which was captured by the family's home security system. A bald eagle is then seen grabbing the unfortunate goose and taking off with it, all the while Oakley can be heard yelling "Hey!" repeatedly in the background.
The bird burglar carried its prey to the driveway before the owner, who was holding her baby, ran out of the house in her underwear. This alarmed the the bald eagle enough to drop Frankie, who then runs back to the house, terrified.
“I was in the middle of feeding her, so that’s why I didn’t have a shirt on and was kind of getting ready for the evening," Oakley said of the wild incident. “I just ran outside and when Mike [her husband] came out he was like, ‘you’re topless,’” she continued, "And I’m like yeah, no, I’m very aware. Sorry neighbors.” Fortunately, Frankie was unharmed in the attack, according to CBC. “She’s totally fine — super sassy, as always,” said Oakley, who recently posted a video of herself consoling her pet after the traumatic incident.
After the TikTok blew up, many people shared their views on the topless hero mom. One person wrote, “This is why you need to always watch out for your pets. I'm proud she rescued her buddy. Please be careful.” Another person said, “‘I may be naked and holding an infant, but I’ll risk everything to save my goose from nature!’- Psycho Mom,” while another said, “As an animal lover myself I’m fairly certain I probably would’ve done the same thing without even thinking and would’ve just bolted right out the door with clothes on or not if a bald eagle was coming after any one of my pets including my chipmunks and squirrels…”
