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.

Isn't this that one video of the enslaved cows that got to experience freedom for the first time? They were supposedly trapped in a shed for years or something by an abusive owner.

They wouldn't look or act anywhere near that healthy if that were true. Maybe a different video?

Every year in Denmark some farmers invite people to come and see the cows dancing when they get out. It is really fantastic to watch.

I live in cattle country in Canada. But I have seen kids react the same way when getting out for summer!

I've seen tug his before and I believe they had been rescued from being slaughtered.

Hope the calf doesn't wake up faster than the boy, because calves love to chew on different clothes! ;)
