This week made it abundantly clear that cops and critters get along swimmingly in Dallas-Fort Worth.

On Tuesday, a Richardson officer came to the rescue of a flustered brood of ducklings that had wandered into a storm drain.

"We all could use a helping hand now and then," the department said in a tweet. "They all made it back."

The next day in Dallas, police were summoned to a Pleasant Grove neighborhood where two escaped cows were mistaken for burglars.

"They took two four-legged suspects into custody," Lt. Terrence Rhodes said in a tweet.

On Saturday, the police chief in Southlake praised one of his sergeants for removing a fawn from harm's way.

"Sgt. [Gaylon] Music met this little guy this morning while keeping him from being run over on North White Chapel," Chief James Brandon wrote.

The officer held the baby deer in his lap while delivering it to safety.

"Safely released in the woods," the chief said.
