From The Belfast Telegraph:
Unionist politician George Savage is lucky to be alive after being saved from a near fatal cow attack by his trusty Collie dog Jack...
George was at the farm with son Kyle tending to a calving cow when another cow charged at him, flinging him several feet up into the air. That’s when George’s quick-thinking collie Jack intervened, running in the other direction to divert the cow from his master.
Joy said: “The cow started chasing the dog and that gave George time to get away because the cow was getting ready to charge him again" Joy said it could take weeks for her husband to recover from his injuries. “He’s trying to keep mobile and as he’s Deputy Mayor this year, he’ll just have to take it easy for a while"
I wonder if David Blunkett has sent him a get well soon card?

I'm intrigued by the relative priorities implicit in the headline; are they suggesting the cow was politically motivated?
Mark's headline implies that it was the cow that was lucky to be alive. Maybe she missed out on last week's slaughter quota.
Sorry to play the cynic here, but how is "the dog ran in the other direction to divert the cow" different from "the dog ran away"?
McH, there does appear to be a degree of malicious glee.
MR, well spotted, I hadn't thought of that.
RLJ, fair point, but sometimes the dog hangs around and makes things worse, so whatever its motives, it did the right thing.
The idea of David Blunkett being chased through the fields by an enraged cow is strangely encouraging.
