Cow Splat! Daisy Takes An Unexpected Dip

3:28pm UK, Thursday May 14, 2009

An intrepid cow has made a big splash with one Buckinghamshire family, after breaking in to their back garden and testing out the swimming pool.

Ruth Scott, who runs a travel agency, was working from home when the family noticed a small herd of cows roaming around the flowerbeds.

But surprise quickly turned to shock when one of the beasts fell into the pool.

Mrs Scott, of Milton Keynes, said: "My son-in-law Mark was in the shower when his wife Zoe called out that there were cows in the garden.

"The next thing we realised, one was in the swimming pool. It started to swim down to the deep end, which was very scary."

Mrs Scott called the fire brigade and the farmer who owns the cows, while Mark tried to free the struggling cow which was trying to climb over the side.

After much splashing around, it eventually found its way back to the shallow end.

Mrs Scott said: "It looked like it was going to hit its head, but it righted itself, then casually walked up the steps. The farmer and fire brigade arrived just then, as it made its way out. We felt slightly ridiculous."

The cow is now safely back on dry land in its field next door.
