Firefighters were conducting a rescue of this paraglider who got stranded atop a tree in Italy on April 18. The rescue was observed by a curious spectator, a cow, who provided a moo-ving soundtrack.

April 20 (UPI) -- Firefighters in Italy rescued a paraglider stranded in a tree, and the operation was observed by "a curious spectator" -- a cow.

Fire officials said two crews from Ivrea and Turin responded Thursday when a paraglider descending toward Vico Canavese became stuck in a tree about 26 feet over the ground.

The fire fighters used a ladder braced by ropes on each side to reach the man, who was able to climb down uninjured.

A video shared by firefighters shows the rescue being observed by "a curious spectator," a local cow whose bell provided a soundtrack to the entire incident.
