Meo

"Meo!" Curious yelled as her pet Snoot slowly ambled out of the field gate. "Kona, can you help? Before he runs away?"
"Why?" Kona called from the milking shed. "It's not like he's going anywhere in a hurry."
"Oh, you're right."

So Curious had a glass of water, a piece of bread and cheese, changed her work apron and had a leisurely three-minute walk to her Snoot, who was a mere few meters from the field gate, and led him back into the paddock.

And the lesson here is- Snoots are super slow, and easy to find.
