The animal was Howdy Doody, a 2,200\u002Dpound, 9\u002Dyear\u002Dold Watusi\u002Dlonghorn mix steer who\u0027s more doglike than fierce fighting bull.
“It was quite a big surprise,” said Reiman, with the Norfolk Police Division. “We were all kind of expecting it to be a smaller animal, like a calf, that would actually fit into a vehicle, not the large animal that we actually discovered there.”
In Neligh, Neb., where the Meyers live, Howdy Doody has become a bit of a local celebrity through his appearances in parades – during which he’s often perched next to Meyer in the modified Crown Victoria. But in Norfolk, a city of some 24,000 residents, authorities considered the duo’s ride to be a safety hazard. After Meyer was stopped by police, he was issued a warning for vision obstruction and unsecured load. He was also asked to drive Howdy Doody home.
How did a massive steer wind up inside a Crown Vic? That’s the result of what Meyer described as an “aha moment” he had about seven years ago while thinking about how he could drive around with his beloved pet.
