Another heartwarming animal saving story...wonder if the animal was grateful.
The aging bovine couldn't climb out of a muddy pond, so Hillsborough County Sheriff's Deputy Christina Ammons waded in and held the animal's head above water until help arrived.
She’s a bull’s best friend.
A Florida sheriff’s deputy hopped in a muddy pond and held a drowning bovine’s head above water until the aging beast could be pulled to safety.
A man mowing grass spotted the 20-year-old cow struggling in the water on Friday and called for help.
Deputy Christina Ammons, a 19-year veteran of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, stripped off her gun belt and service shirt and waded in.
She spent the next 45 minutes keeping bull’s head above water while her partner, armed with a rifle, kept watch for alligators, authorities said.
Firefighters eventually arrived and used tow straps to pull the 1,000 pound cow onto the shore.
They had the aging animal halfway out when he tried to bolt back into the water.
The rescue team finally got the bull all the way out after about 30 minutes, authorities said.
He stood up and was able to walk. He wasn’t injured.
