cattle count. When I got out of the car, my dog got past me and started chasing cows. He had a habit of doing it, and the bull really did not like it. The bull had enough and started chasing the dog. All the cattle joined it. The dog ran to me for help! I ran to the car and jumped on the hood -- just in time. The dog went under the car. It was a close call. Lesson learned: when we went in the car to do the counting, the dog was leased and tied inside the car.

ruined. I have always thought of them as gentle giants.

And at the link a person posted that they were also attacked by cows.

I still think it could be fake. They don't show a picture of the cows.
