Pleasanton police found themselves dealing with an "udderly amoosing" situation near downtown on Wednesday evening -- although at least one driver was left having beef with the four-legged stranger.

A cow on the loose in the area of Bernal Avenue and Stanley Boulevard slowed traffic and prompted multiple calls to the police department.

"Our team of officers quickly responded and found a brown cow running around. Despite a cow-llision with a sedan, the cow safely returned home. There were no reported injuries," police reported on social media. "Shout out to the local ranchers for helping with this 'udderly amoosing' situation!"
