Reporter’s story
“I was walking my 7 month old golden retriever, there were some cows about 150 away to the left. Passed several cows and had no problems. The cow started making a move towards us, we went the other way and it galloped straight up to us in a standoff. It started snorting and shaking its head then went for my dog, my dog lashed back in self defence which stunned the cow. We made a swift getaway having to run through unpathed bogs.
Once we got around 200m the cow appeared to make its way towards us, so we had to full on sprint towards Ugborough beacon to get shelter if it did come again”
