GEORGETOWN, S.C. (AP) - A sheriff's deputy responding to a burglary call in South Carolina was forced to settle a beef between his K9 and a spooked cow by using a stun gun.

Georgetown County sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the Pleasant Hill community on Wednesday when a K9 that was brought to the scene reportedly became "distracted" and bit a cow belonging to the property owners, a statement from the agency said. The officer was forced to stun the dog to prevent the cow from being seriously injured, the office said.

Reacting to the bite, the cow charged at the deputy and property owner, hitting them and causing minor injuries. After taking stock of the situation, the deputy placed the dog in his cruiser. None of the people or animals involved appeared to be seriously hurt, The Greenville News reported.
At the end of it all - the sheriff's office determined the original burglary call was unfounded.

Pleasant Hill is about 43 miles (69 kilometers) west of Myrtle Beach.

1. bad ass cows

Years ago, during a conversation with an ex-Sheriff from a rural county, I asked him what had been his scariest moment in law enforcement. He said it was his confrontation with a rabid cow.
I laughed, but he told me to think for a minute what a normally placid, several hundred pound cow could be like if it were totally out of control and looking to do damage.
He said when they arrived on the scene the cow, which had been locked in a barn, was making a hell of a racket and trying to break through the walls. He said 3 men went in with a shotgun and rifles, and it took several rounds to put the animal down. The inside of the barn was wrecked, and basically had to be rebuilt.

I just hope cows never evolve to the point that they realize why humans give them free food and shelter. The cow apocalypse would be very serious.
