NORWOOD, Ohio — Police in Ohio found themselves in a different kind of chase of an escapee, one that was moo-ving fast. It was a little cow and the whole pursuit was captured on police bodycam.

The cow was part of a church petting zoo and somehow made a daring getaway, proceeding to trot around the neighborhood. Residents spotted her and some pretty interesting 911 calls ensued.

TRENDING NOW:

Officers arrived to find the little cow milking her moment of freedom, but she was soon wrangled by police.

"I could not believe it! It's a little brown thing. It's got a harness, so it looks like it got loose from somewhere," said one caller. The dispatcher responded, "OK. All right, honey. We'll get officers out there. I just ... I've never had this call before."

"I've had my fair share of dogs and snakes and raccoons, but a cow is definitely the first," Officer Kelly Garner told WLWT.

The officers and the rancher managed to put the animal back on the a trailer so she could make her way home to her own pasture.
