RODEO

They are celebrating a Central Texas father after he jumped into the ring at a Belton rodeo earlier this month to save his son from a raging bull. Landis Hooks saw his 18-year-old son, Cody, thrown from the bull quickly after leaving the gate. His son was left unconscious because of the fall. They caught the entire ordeal on video in front of dozens of fans at the Bell County Expo Center. The video shows his father jumping into action to cover Cody with his body.
