Her name is Buttons. She's well known to the people of Kittitas County, Washington. She likes to hang out with the local cows, goats, and humans. When firefighters set up a command post while putting out wildfire, Buttons decided to pay a visit to them. The Associated Press reports:

Kittitas County Fire District spokeswoman Richelle Risdon says she arrived at the scene on Saturday to see the elk nuzzling up to everyone in the command post area and resting her head on people's shoulders.
