Cleveland:
A north Georgia man said he and his wife received the fright of their life when they found the neighbour's buffalo in their swimming pool over the weekend.
Chris Nonnemaker said the couple noticed two holes in the pool's cover and went outside to take a look on Saturday morning in White County.
Nonnemaker said they took a closer look when they noticed something moving.
When he pulled the pool cover back, Nonnemaker saw a buffalo that had escaped from a neighbour's home.
Nonnemaker called police and videotaped the animal's rescue, which involved ropes to help coax the buffalo out near the shallow end. (Watch: Home video of the rescue above)
Deputies say the buffalo belonged to a neighbour and escaped with two others weeks ago.
They say the others buffaloes were caught shortly after they got away.
The owners of the buffalo that was in the pool decided to put the animal down.
