Caught On Video: Cow Cools Off In Backyard Pool

PITTSFIELD, Mass. (CBS) ― A family in western Massachusetts saw a strange sight in their swimming pool Tuesday night: a 1,000-pound cow.

Several cows had wandered off from a Pittsfield farm the day before, and one of them ended up taking a dip in the pool.

The homeowners called Pittsfield police. One of the officers said it was the first time he had ever heard of a cow ending up in a swimming pool.

The officer called a nearby farmer to see if he was missing a cow. It turned out it was one of George Noble's cows.

Noble along with several farmhands brought over a large ramp and were able to remove the cow from the pool and bring him home.

There is no word on what the family will be doing to clean the pool.
