Trying to wrap text around an image in Bootstrap 4

I am having trouble wrapping text around my image at about 1355px. I tried using float-left on both the div container and the actual img tag, and nothing worked. I'm not sure if it's because of the column setup I have, and I should add a lg column setup to the classes? Or if I'm supposed to mess with width and height of the img? I wanted to include this change in a media query. Here is my code and a picture of what's happening. text not wrapping around the image

And this is my code

<section id="ourStory">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-md-6">
        <img src="img/uf_5.png" class="img-fluid float-left" alt="stray dog lying down">
    </div><!--column-->
        <div class="col-md-6">

Are you looking for something like this -

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>

<section id="ourStory">
  <div class="container-fluid">

          <img src="https://www.w3schools.com/css/img_mountains.jpg" class="img-fluid float-left mr-4" alt="stray dog lying down">

I have just put the image and text into one div and specified it to use whole 12 grids of bootstrap so text will be floated towards right on large screen and go below image once the screen size gets small.

In your code, you have like this -

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
    .
    .
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-6">
    .
    .
    </div>
</div>

So you had one row with 6 grids for each div (on screens with width>768px) like this -

--------------------------------------ROW-START-------------------------------------------
                                           |
                                           |
                                           |
                                           |
                                           |
            6    G  R  I  D  S             |      6    G  R  I  D  S  
                 IMAGE                     |             TEXT
                                           |
                                           |
                                           |
-----------------------------------------ROW-END---------------------------------------

With this you won't be able to wrap the text around image when the text goes below image. In Bootstrap, the "row" class is used mainly to hold columns in it. Bootstrap divides each row into a grid of 12 virtual columns. The image will take columns even when the image ends which is why the text won't be able to wrap around the image.

In my code, you have -

<div class="col-10 col-md-12">
    <div class="col-md-6 m-3">
    .
    .
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-12">
    .
    .
    </div>
</div>

So, here you have two divs inside a div which has 12 grids with it. Your layout will be -

--------------------------------------DIV-START-------------------------------------------
                                           |
            6    G  R  I  D  S             |      6    G  R  I  D  S  
            TILL IMAGE EXISTS              |      USED BY TEXT
___________________________________________|                                              
                                           
        WHEN THE IMAGE ENDS ALL THE 12 GRIDS will be used by TEXT
               
-----------------------------------------DIV-END------------------------------------------

Do note that there's img-fluid and float-left help in keeping image responsive, preventing it from overflowing in case of high-res image and making the text appear to right of image.

Hope this helps !
