Australian Politician's Dog Lets Bull, Horse Into Home
A politician in Australia named Andrew Mackay came home to find that his dog had let a bull and a horse into his living room.
He saw this happen on his pet camera while he was out for dinner.
The dog first went outside, and then the bull and horse came in through the open door.
They played inside for about an hour and a half, knocking things over and even drinking from the fish tank.
The horse also found some vegetable scraps and threw them around.
Mackay and his fiancée rushed home after seeing the cow's head on the camera.
They found some mess but luckily, the fish seemed to be okay.
Andrew Mackay, a Northern Territory politician, discovered his pet dog had let a bull and a horse into his living room via a pet cam.
The dog, named Thunder, nudged open a glass door, allowing the bull, Sue, to scratch it open further, which then allowed the horse, Cricket, inside.
The animals played inside for about 1.5 hours, knocking things off cabinets and drinking from the fish tank.
Mackay and his fiancée rushed home after seeing the cow's head on the camera.
The incident caused some mess but no significant damage, and the fish in the tank appeared to be alive.
