00:02Right Brucey, do you want to come for a spin in the truck, we'll go down the beach.
00:07Tom Kennedy is gearing up for a day out with his rather unusual pet, Bruce the Brahmin.
00:15That's it, let's go.
00:17Some would call him a local celebrity.
00:19His temperament's nice.
00:21We're just having fun, he loves going to the beach and socialising, so we thought we'll
00:26bring him down since he's been a little fella, he used to come down with the horses a lot.
00:29Bruce was given a second chance when he was just eight months old.
00:34He had no purpose at the old stud that he was at, he was left to grow up there and
00:41they
00:42were going to just send him off to the abattoir when he was big enough.
00:44Tom maintains the Brahmin breed is misunderstood.
00:48They're not all mean and nasty if you bring them up right, they're actually very friendly
00:52and very inquisitive, very intelligent.
00:54Despite the fact that Brucey weighs two T-bones short of two tonnes, it doesn't put beachgoers
01:00off from coming up and giving him a big old pat.
01:03I've always wanted to come and see him but I haven't been able to.
01:06It's my dream to meet him, yeah.
01:08He's a celebrity around here.
01:11Yeah, he certainly is.
01:12He likes to swim, he likes people, you know.
01:15All that time at the beach is thirsty work.
01:18Next stop, the bar.
01:19You might as well serve him.
01:21And to finish off, a round of pool.
01:25Probably great given the way life is nowadays, people need something simple and real to smile
01:31at.
01:32Not your average day at the beach.
