A great escape saved the life of not one but two cows last week.

Brianna the cow was in a cattle truck with other cows destined for the butcher, when she pushed her way out of the vehicle, jumping about 8 feet and leading police on a chase along a New Jersey highway last week, WCBS reported.

Brianna was taken to Skylands Animal Sanctuary to make sure she wasn’t hurt during her try for freedom Thursday.
