When you think of a man's best friend, a pet cow is probably not the first thing that pops into your mind! And that's a shame because these adorable cows are more similar to dogs than you think - and Bored Panda has made a compilation of photos to prove it!
Just like dogs, these cute cows love to cuddle; they give kisses, get curious, play with a ball, and enjoy good old back rub. And there's such a variety between them - from huge fluffy cows to tiny miniature cows; there's an adorable animal for everyone to love. And don't start us on the charms of baby cows!
We hope this will encourage you to see them as sensitive animals, which they are, and inspire a more ethical treatment of these magnificent creatures.

Just an FYI this is a veal calf - this calf is kept in it's tiny enclosure - it will never feel pasture grass under it's feet, it is fed only milk when it should be weaned and eating grains and grass - it will be slaughtered well before adolescence, while it is still young and at the beginning of its life, all for your dinner. There is nothing cute about veal.

I fear that looking at these will highly impact my enjoyment of a hamburger for the weeks to come. Here I go.

You think that until you try and milk one that's in a bad mood and she smacks you in the face with her poop covered tail. Or - as on one memorable occasion, I went into a stall to check out a sore hoof, and she was so relieved when I picked up her foot (it was just a rock stuck in there) that she leaned her entire 1000 pounds plus on me.
