Buffalo found in north Georgia swimming pool
CLEVELAND, GA
Chris Nonnemaker says he and his wife noticed two holes in the
pool's cover and went outside to take a look Saturday morning in
White County. Nonnemaker says they noticed something moving.
When he pulled the pool cover back, Nonnemaker saw a buffalo
that had escaped from a neighbor's home.
Nonnemaker called police and videotaped the animal's rescue,
which involved ropes to help coax the buffalo out near the shallow
end.
Deputies say the buffalo belonged to a neighbor and escaped with
two others weeks ago. They say those two were caught shortly after
they got away.
The owners of the buffalo that was in the pool decided to put
the animal down.
