Wellesley’s own cow whisperer

October 4, 2010 by Bob Brown

Wellesley MA cow escapes, tamed by police officer

Not to be confused with Robert Redford’s Horse Whisperer, Wellesley Police officer Ron Poirier last week starred as the Cow Whisperer, coaxing Star the cow back into her yard along Washington Street following a very late night/early morning escape (more pics from Wellesley PD Photo).

Wellesley is seemingly always alive with wildlife at night, as evidenced by the recent epic fox vs. skunk battle, also dealt with by Wellesley Police.

Wellesley also has quite a few less threatening beasts across residents’ lawns.
