Vicki Wood was driving on Highway 60 near the James River, back to Springfield from neighboring Seymour, with her son Dustin Wood in the back seat and his girlfriend Pam Standfield in the front passenger seat, when a 20-pound turkey headed for their car, the Springfield News-Leader reported.

The two women were rushed to a nearby hospital, where they were treated for cuts from flying glass, the paper reported. Standfield was knocked out after being hit by the turkey.

A.K.A. Kick’n Chicken.
BTW, that is a very interesting genetic mix.
I’d assume Anatolians possess very similar instinctive instinctive behaviors as a Pyr, to guard and protect, assertive but not aggressive.
I wonder how he is doing? Hope he is using some of his energy on a girl friend.
