Naw, that's a Water Buffalo. Yak's live in higher, colder, dryer climes. They make felt from the fur, cheese and booze from the milk, and use them as pack animals. To valuable to eat unless it's necessary.....and they reek.

I'd like to add my thanks here....to Trooper Ladd for saving Bruce, and all the other Pa State Police officers that I've run into in my travels through the state. They are truly pros.

Pa. State Cops Rock ( if you arent really up to no good )!

New York State cops? Well...........

I've had dealings with cops from all over the country, both State and local. The PA State Police are the absolute best I've ever dealt with. Always professional without being intimidating. We don't have a local force here and the State Police cover this area. Unlike some of the locals in the county the State Police don't bother anyone that's not asking for it. They don't harass people just because they can. Probably they only time I've ever seen them screw up is saving my sorry butt.

I got a letter from Trooper Ladd's boss, Lt. John W. Laufer, acknowledging my letter of praise for Trooper Ladd. He said all too often the State Police only hear from the public when they have a bitch and rarely hear anything when they do good. That's human nature I guess.
I suppose it's a good thing we aren't allowed to tip them.

End of story-not safe for humans.
For a couple days Cody (the loyal dog in my misadventure) did real well. But as time went by he deteriorated quickly. 13 years old and that kind of harrowing experience took it's toll. 9 days and 4 trips to the vet later, we buried him tonight. RIP Cody.

Sorry to hear that, bud. Dogs are such good companions. Hope your shoulder is coming along. When it rains, it seems to pour.

Sorry to hear that, Bruce. His last days were largely due to your concern and efforts, and no small measure of sacrifice on your part.

Well done, once again, my friend.
