Watch: Loose horse rounded up on Tennessee highway
Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Sheriff's deputies in Tennessee came to the rescue when an escaped horse was spotted galloping on the highway.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded Tuesday when a loose horse was spotted on Highway 27.
A dashcam video shows Deputy Ricardo Santiago driving behind the horse in the northbound lanes to keep the wandering equine safe from traffic.
Santiago follows the horse at a slow speed until a trailer arrives on the scene.
The horse was safely returned to its owner.
"Just another day in the life of a HCSO deputy. We are always ready to serve, even when it comes to our four-legged citizens," the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post.
