This was not a commercial being filmed for the fast-food restaurant, but it certainly had Noblesville police and residents amused, WXIN reported.

Athena Hopkins caught the cow's movements on camera and posted it to her Facebook page, and the post has been shared more than 10,000 times. The Noblesville Police Department shared its own photos on its Facebook page, claiming its officers were "running with the bulls."

Noblesville police encouraged residents who snapped photos or recorded videos of the cow on the loose to add it their Facebook page, WXIN reported.
