Everybody hurts. No crime was solved.

In the otherwise normal town of Georgetown, South Carolina, a sheriffs deputy who was investigating a burglary ended up using a stun gun on his own K9 after the police working dog bit a cow, which then charged at both the property owner and the deputy, reports the sheriffs office.

Still with me?

Good.

In a statement [Link], Georgetown County sheriffs deputies say they responded to a burglary call in the Pleasant Hill community Wednesday afternoon, when the K9 brought to the scene became distracted and bit a cow that belonged to the owners of the property.

The officer responded by stunning the dog to prevent serious injury to the cow, said the statement posted on Facebook.

The dog was taken back to the cruiser, and none of the people or animals involved appeared to be seriously hurt, The Greenville News reported.
