Volunteers from Saving Paws Rescue Arizona answered an emergency call to assist capture a horse that ran away from his home on Monday morning when two fire engines ran by the area and scared the horse with their sirens. Matthew Arnold who is a volunteer with the Saving Paws Rescue Arizona team used a truck to chase down the horse who was running on a road in Glendale. The volunteers had assistance from the Glendale Police Department and the owner of the horse to calm him down and reunite the horse with his owner the same day. A police escort took the horse home along with his owner. Link is upi.com/4101719951011 via @upi

I'm glad the horse was returned home safely. Horses are so skittish when it comes to loud noises.

He must be started on the road. I do hope that the owner knows his or her responsibility seriously.

Poor horse must have been scared. Life can be too loud even for humans.

Horses can run away when they hear a loud noise.

A noisy fire siren would probably scare a lot of animals if they were nearby.

If that horse was running away, it probably wasn't well cared for at home. That horse was frightened!
