A PREGNANT British cow took a plunge into a neighbor's chilly pool in southern England, wading around for four hours before being rescued, firefighters said.

A total of 10 cows,had broken out of their field through a hedge and wandered into a private garden near Andover, Hampshire.

"The homeowner, who is having her birthday today, woke up this morning to find several cows in her garden and one in the swimming pool," a fire service spokeswoman said.

Firefighters went into the freezing water to join the animal while waiting for a vet who sedated the animal.

The cow was reported unharmed and back in its home field "but shivering a little bit", the spokeswoman said.

1. I caught a glimpse of this...

...on the news tonight. They must have drained most of the water out for the winter over there. There wasn't much water in there, and judging by the pools the depth, the cow would have drowned if the pool was full.
