A check on a reported burglary in Pleasant Hill ended up involving a charging K9, a mad cow and two people with minor injuries.



At about 4 p.m. a deputy responded to a report of a possible burglary in progress on Drivers Lane in the Pleasant Hill community, according to the Sheriff’s Office.



The deputy took his K9 out of his patrol car while waiting for backup to arrive.



“A cow nearby distracted the dog, and he subsequently bit the cow. In an attempt to protect the cow from injuries, the deputy tased the K-9. The dog was taken into leash control and returned to the deputy’s vehicle,” the information states.



Reacting to the dog, the cow struck the deputy and a female property owner. Their injuries were determined to be minor.



To make matters worse, the burglary that was reported was unfounded.
