Florida cops came to the rescue of an animal they were not expecting. Rather than a lost dog or cat, Florida cops had to rescue an emu that was on the loose in the area.
The incident happened on July 20 at 1:00 p.m. The Orange County Sheriff's Office responded to reports of a "loose emu wandering around a pond." It had escaped from a nearby farm by squeezing through a fence. Fortunately, Florida cops managed to corner the animal and get it under control. They gave the emu some water and worked to return it to its owners.
Fortunately, the owners arrived and was able to load up the bird much to the Florida cops' relief.
"Our deputies probably were not expecting to have to wrangle an emu when they arrived to work, but this just goes to show they can handle any situation that comes their way," officials said.
