Family Surprised When Bull Comes for Dip
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (UPI) -- A St. Andrews, Scotland, family said a planned party for their new pool was canceled after a large bull came barreling down a hill and plunged into the water. Jamie Stewart said the party was canceled after the unexpected visitor took a dive into the 10 gallons of water that had just been placed inside, The Telegraph reported Monday. "It was definitely an 8.5 out of 10 dive," Stewart said. "I couldn't believe it. It's not everyday you see a bull in your pool. The kids had been looking forward to trying out the new pool but they quickly saw the funny side." He said firefighters pumped all of the water out of the pool before shooting the bull with tranquilizers. "The vet had to shoot it twice with a dart gun before it conked out," Stewart said. "They then managed to get straps underneath the animal and it was lifted out by a digger with a front lift. "The solar covering on the pool has taken a bit if a battering and the bottom is a bit scraped but otherwise it appears to be OK. At the end of the day it was a pretty funny incident although not one that we would want to repeat," he said.
