Desperate to stop a runaway cow, this dog takes the most direct route.

Thanks, Shu. In full resolution 8X10 glossy, that puff of dirt looks awesome. It's like you can see every particle floating to the air, frozen in time -- almost 3D. Too bad we can only see web resolution here.

Yes, the movement in this one peaks curiosity. I also think the colors are very pleasing. The puff of dirt provides the extra touch. Very nice. Shu

Cow tipping? I thought that was an activity reserved for boys at summer camp! LOL! Excellent capture! ~ LOnnit

Thanks for the comments everyone. Neither animal was hurt. It was really just luck to have gotten this pic with this kind of clarity. I was just setting up to shoot and accidental had my shutter still set to 1/2000 sec from taking some flying bird pics. I normally wouldn't have had it set so high for this type of shot and wouldn't have caught the split second action so well. These types of shots don't usually look that great with motion blur. Thanks again.

That is really an incredible shot! Talk about catching "the moment"! Well done!

What a great capture! Did the cow fall over from the tackle? :-) -FretNoMore

That's great! I wonder how fast he'd be without a cow on his back?
