Dog Nips Off
Enraged Bull
ELKADER, Iowa — As he
was leading his Holstein bull to
water, the animal turned on
Marvin Henning, .of Elkader,
knocked him down, and tried to
gore him. Henning’s dog came
to the rescue. The . German
shepherd nipped at the enraged
bull until it turned away.
After the bull went into the
barn, Henning and his wife went
in to tie it, but the bull attack-
ed them both. Again the dog
saved them by distracting the
animal. Henning, who is now
in a hospital with a broken leg,
said he owes his life to his dog.
