Otis had been without a companion since his previous mate, Snowy, passed away in 2012.

Swans are known to pair off for life, but Ophelia turned Otis’ eye during the 12-year-old’s annual winter stay in Stratford. (The male swan only has vision in one eye.)

The city says Otis’ new friend is three or four years old.
