That's quite odd -- I've been to Oxford numerous times, but never once to The Bear.
How'd I miss it? (rhetorical question -- perhaps "I was very drunk at the time")
Now The Lamb & Flag. Stopped off there a few times.

Mrs. H and I got mugged by a surly group of ducks at the botanical gardens in Oxford one day whilst eating our Indian takeaway luncheon. They did not want to take "no" for an answer.

Goose(s) are nasty blighters.
Let's see if I can condense this story to its elements.
In a past life, I worked for a biotech company that had a fairly large and very nice pond (several acres) which had been constructed as part of the groundwater management for the site. It was a very nice pond. It was named rPond (for "recombinant pond" -- and a play on words, "our Pond"). It was even stocked. It attracted lots of wildlife, including, of course, geese.
Geese are messy and kind of menacing.
Plans were made to... dispatch... the geese.
This rubbed the company's employees the wrong way. We are wise and benevelolent scientists, they thought, there must be a better way; a more humane way. A more biotechnological way.
The solution: a corporate dog!
A dog was acquired. A beautiful (umm...) retriever of some sort.
The dog required a name. Due to a joint venture at the time, he was named Baxter.
A doghouse was constructed for him
Baxter helped for a while.
Then, one day, a goose took him on.
After that, Baxter pretty much ignored the geese and concentrated on mooching off of employees running, walking, or lunching in the vicinity of the pond.
Baxter, however, was maintained on the payroll* and lived a long, albeit somewhat useless, life thereafter.
________
* At night, on holiday shutdowns and in really bad weather, he was taken or kept at home by the facilities director; part of the latter's job description at the time.
(part of the pond's visible at the bottom left of the Google image above -- when I started working there, a huge field occupied the site of the huge manufacturing building seen just "above" the pond)
