After the cover was removed, the moose strolled out of the shallow end of the pool and headed to a wooded area next to the home.
Bedford Police Chief Daniel Douidi said in a statement that no people or animals were harmed.
“I want to remind residents that moose can be very dangerous animals due to their size, and we appreciate that residents called us this morning to assist with this situation,” Douidi said.
