Moo-ve it

Cow CEN

Moo do you think you are, Michael Phelps?

Firefighters in Bellinzona, Switzerland, had to rescue this overenthusiastic heifer when she plunged into a swimming pool to cool off during a heatwave.

"We were watching the Olympics when we heard his tremendous splash.

"So we went out to the garden and we couldn't quite believe what we saw," the family told firefighters.

Rescuers spent two hours winching he trapped cow back onto dry land before returning her to her field.

Winching? Wouldn't it have been easier just to put a ramp into the water and lure the cow out with some food?
