Then something amazing happened.

A cow who was crammed onto the second floor of a truck hurtling down the highway must have realized it was her last chance to survive.

The next moment, she was jumping. The cow, now named Brianna, managed to survive the fall. But she was still in danger. She was on the run on I-80, outside of Paterson, New Jersey, and police chased her for hours.

But someone else arrived who was determined to catch her, too: Mike Stura, who runs Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in Wantage, New Jersey.



Brianna was finally cornered and harnessed. And Stura approached her, trying to calm her down and convince her everything would be OK.

Not only was Brianna healthy — she had a little surprise for her rescuers, who brought her back to the sanctuary and let her out onto the fresh grass of her new home for the first time.
