On 4/12/21 at 11:58 AM EDT
First responders in rural Gilgandra, Australia received a strange request on the evening of April 3: rescue a cow that had become trapped in a belowground pool.

It was a very unusual event, he said. I ve never had a cow in a pool before.
In a pair of photos posted to the SES s Facebook page, the cow, a healthy brown female, can be seen standing neck-deep in the shallow end. Commenters seized the opportunity to make dairy puns.
