Talk About a Dog and Pony Show: Animals Releasing Other Animals

They weren't exactly great escapes, but they were certainly unusual.

This post is about a dog who opened a gate and let a rare white wallaby loose,

and...

a pony who freed a rare white peacock.

The first case

There's a drone looking for an escaped marsupial named Roo in Blanchard, Oklahoma. 

Police say Roo managed to get a dog (whose name has not been released pending charges) to assist in his release from a petting zoo near a church.

According to police reports the dog lifted the latch on the chain link fence. Roo quicky disappeared in some nearby thick woods stymying pursuit.

Meanwhile the drone hovers overhead as Roo becomes more accustomed to his new digs.

The second case

This story is being referred to as the "curious horse" escapade in a small Quebec town in Canada.

"Sparkles" the pony apparently used the same method the dog did in the first story... unlocking a stall door with her nose and releasing two peacocks.

The farm owner was able to catch one of the birds but the other one was a rare white peacock who "flew the coop" as it were. The farmer's hopeful his errant white peacock will return some day. 

Meanwhile all charges have been dropped against Sparkles because she's a minor. 

As it stands, hopefully you enjoyed these animal tales as much as I do sharing them.
