The cows were tied with a rope to the bow, the person sitting on the boat pulled gently to make the cows swim along. Thanks to perseverance and smooth coordination, the entire herd of cows was brought to shore safely.

Previously, on the afternoon of July 23, people in Phu Hau and Phuong Son hamlets (formerly Dong Van commune, now Dai Dong commune) brought their cows to the Lam River to graze. However, due to the impact of heavy rain, hydroelectric plants releasing floodwaters, and the sudden rise in river water, the cows were isolated in the middle of the river, unable to return.

Immediately after receiving the news, Dai Dong commune authorities urgently mobilized forces and coordinated with local people to find a rescue plan.
