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.

    Think of this the next time you eat a hamburger. All cows are at some point this young and cute. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't real animals.

    Your post is in NO WAY entitled as a commenter said, the MOMENT we point out animal suffering, they call us entitled. Keep up the good work!

    It's a "wee beastie". Have you ever seen the OTHER highland cows? They look like Oreo cookies. All black, with a white ring around their midsection. Cute!!

    Highlanders come in white, black and various shades of brown. The Oreos are belted Galloway’s. There are also black Angus.and my personal favorite the Ayrshire dairy cow. The highlander and Ayrshire breeds have large horns for protection.

    I ageee that eating animals is way wrong but I think veal comes from a lamb, if I'm not mistaken.

    A calf is technically a cow. A baby is a human. isn't it? A puppy is a dog....

    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.
