The gentle horse calmly trotted into the Walmart, stopping in the vestibule for Duncan to ask: ‘Can he come in here?’ An employee didn’t answer and they continued their journey through the store in search of a five-gallon bucket.
‘Are you okay with him coming with me to get the bucket?’
The security gates then open and Sheriff begins his journey to stardom and aisle A14.
The Dallas Cowboys ultimately won 20-17 on Sunday.
