This is a tale, despite all of its twists and turns, that needs to start at the end. No person, dog or cow appeared to be seriously injured Wednesday night.

That's despite a bite, a Taser, two spooked animals and two people who just happened to be too close to one another at the exact wrong moment.

Even the report of a burglary that incited this whole ruckus turned out to be "unfounded," according to a Georgetown County Sheriff's Office Facebook post Wednesday.

That call of a burglary in progress came in around 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Pleasant Hill community.

That is not the unusual part. Nor is what happened next.

The first deputy on scene secured the location in this coastal South Carolina county just south of Myrtle Beach. With his K-9, he waited on additional officers to assist entering the residence, the Facebook post says.

Actually, those facts may be the only usual part in this just-four-paragraph Facebook post.

"A cow nearby distracted the dog, and he subsequently bit the cow," the post reads. Then, the deputy tazed the K-9 "in an attempt to protect the cow from injuries."

That distracting cow, by the way, didn't exactly stand still during all of this.

The cow struck the property owner and the deputy, inflicting injuries that "were determined to be minor."

The dog was returned to the deputy's vehicle.

Here's the Facebook post. It's worth a read, even if the ending has been spoiled.
