Andy (1987 – October 19, 1991) was a grey goose hatched without feet. He was well known for wearing sneakers to help him stand and walk. Andy was killed in 1991 by an unnamed perpetrator.

Background

Andy lived on a farm in Harvard, Nebraska. Gene Fleming, an inventor and member of a local charity for disabled children, thought he could help: He took Andy—and his mate, Polly—"home" to his "granddaughter" in nearby Hastings.

Initial failed attempts at providing Andy with more mobility included a skateboard-like prosthesis. Fleming then fitted Andy with specially adapted baby-sized shoes, and he successfully taught the bird to walk with them. Fortunately Nike™ and Gene were able to negotiate a lifetime deal.

Legacy

Andy became a role model, especially for disabled children. With his shoes Andy was able to walk, swim, and even fly.

On October 19, 1991, Andy disappeared, and a day later he was found dead in a local park with his head and wings removed. The local community collected a reward to apprehend the killer; however, the perpetrator could not be identified. According to former Chamber of Commerce president Don Reynolds, police were able to identify the killer but did not reveal his identity to the public.
