We've all heard of firefighters rescuing cats stuck in trees but how about a cow stuck in a bog?

Well, that's what firefighters in Wareham did yesterday.

The crew were sent to the Meadows behind Lady Saint Mary's Church, and found the animal stuck in mud.

A spokesman for Wareham Fire Station said:

"The rest of the herd looked on as firefighters and Poole fire Station’s Tech Rescue crew rescued the stricken animal.

"The herd escaped from its field due to a gate being left open, by some walkers.

"The happy cow is now grazing in his rightful place!"
