Travelling with a pet is a normal situation. No one even minds if you are travelling on the road with your dog or cat. However, it becomes a different story if the definition of the pet is twisted. Can you believe a full-size bull is a pet of someone in the city?

In a rather bizarre and attention-grabbing incident, a colossal bull by the name of Howdy Doody was spotted casually riding shotgun in a car along a Nebraska highway. This unusual spectacle swiftly went viral, captivating people across the nation and even prompting a written warning from the local authorities.

A muscular bull Says Howdy to the streets

Behind the wheel of this unconventional road trip was Lee Meyer, cruising along in his customized Ford Crown Victoria sedan. Alongside him, occupying the passenger seat, was his unexpected travel companion. A Watusi bull named Howdy Doody. The story began to unfold early on Wednesday morning, and it wasn’t long before authorities received a call regarding this peculiar duo.

The police in Norfolk, Nebraska, initially received a 911 report. It is about a “cow” inside a vehicle, with the assumption that it might be a calf or something small that could feasibly fit inside a car. However, the reality proved to be quite different. Officers arrived on the scene and saw the true enormity of their four-legged passenger.

News Channel Nebraska managed to capture the unforgettable moment as officers conducted an impromptu traffic stop, complete with Meyer’s colossal horned co-pilot in the frame.

The action taken by the authorities

Norfolk Police Captain Chad Reiman shed some light on the situation. He explained that there were indeed some issues that could have warranted citations. Nevertheless, the officer chose to issue a warning, advising Meyer to transport his unusual companion back home and out of the city.

Following this unusual encounter with the law, Meyer and Howdy Doody returned to their hometown. It was in Neligh, located nearly 40 miles from Norfolk. It remained somewhat of a mystery why they embarked on this peculiar road trip.

Meyer’s wife, Rhonda, provided some insights into their extraordinary journey. According to her, her husband had acquired the bull around eight or nine years ago. It had since become his “friend and buddy.” Remarkably, despite the traffic stop, Meyer appeared unfazed, with Rhonda mentioning that he believed himself to be somewhat of a “movie star.”

This adventure wasn’t the first time Meyer had travelled with his oversized companion. In 2019, Howdy Doody made a notable appearance at a July 4th parade, as reported by Antelope County News.
