Bullish on animals
Bailey Fish isn't the only one having adventures. Last week I was driving to see friends when I noticed that a large bull was standing next to the busy road. It would have been fine if there had been a fence between him and the traffic. But he was right by the edge and I was worried about him and other motorists. So I stopped and went to the farmhouse door. A woman answered after hearing my shouts of, "Your bull is by the road." She opened the door a crack and said, "That isn't the issue." I thought it was the issue. I looked at the bull out by the street. He was scratching his back on a tree. She went on to tell me that her issue was that there was a hole in the fence and he kept getting out. She closed the door, and I presumed she was going outside from another door to rescue her bull. I moved my van alongside the big animal and put my hazard lights on to alert other motorists. The bull apparently heard his owner calling and ambled back to the barn. A few days later, friends and I returned and with her permission fixed several holes in the fence.
My husband and I always stop to rescue turtles in the road, but this was the first time we had to rescue a bull. He's a nice fellow, by the way.
