Holy cow!

A huge bull named Howdy Doody rode shotgun in a motorist's car on a Nebraska highway, stunning other drivers and prompting one to call 911 about the bizarre incident, landing the animal's owner in hot water with police.

Nebraska's Norfolk Police Division told Insider that an onlooker had called 911 on Wednesday morning to report that "someone was driving with a cow in their vehicle" along US Highway 275.

"It was not communicated how large the animal was," Captain Michael Bauer of the Norfolk Police Division told Insider on Thursday.

The driver of the small compact car, which has part of its roof cut out to make room for the Watusi bull with massive horns, often graces local parades in northeast Nebraska with Howdy Doody in tow, according to Bauer.

And during those times the roads are closed and traffic is controlled.

"Unfortunately, Howdy Doody creates quite a vision obstruction for the driver for normal driving conditions," Bauer explained.

Police on Wednesday wound up pulling over driver Lee Meyer and his bull sidekick in the car that had its exterior visibly covered in poop and gave Meyer a warning for having a "vision obstruction," said Bauer.

No other citations were issued, police said.

In 2019, Meyer and Howdy Doody rolled down a parade route in Nebraska, causing kids to go "wild" for the big bovine, Antelope County News reported at the time.
