30 Adorable Cow Photos That Prove They Are Just Big Dogs
786Kviews
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.

A Cuddly Scottish Cow
Cows Will Be Your Friend If You Treat Them Nicely
I think I remember this in another article, where he literally sat in a field and a random cow came and fell asleep on him. Of course then he couldn't move, without disturbing his new friend
Ahh, now that's what I call man's best friend. His cow!! Who knew?? Sweet thing <3
Iseen the original before and the caption was "I was sitting down in a field and someone's cow just came up to me and fucking sat on my lap." Or something along those lines haha XD
the real caption for this is *someone help me someones f*cking cow fell asleep on me and i can't get it off or ill wake it up* (its along the lines of that definitely has the swear word)

Do you have a pay pal account.. in case if you have you can make an additional 1200 every week to your pay check only working on the internet 2 hours per day.. go here to this Goood luck___________ http://cutt.us/oslsq
I fear that looking at these will highly impact my enjoyment of a hamburger for the weeks to come. Here I go.
Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight - Albert Schweitzer
I've became a vegetarian 7 months ago and I can tell you it's not that hard to do and totally worth it for many obvious reasons. Research it well before you cross over and make sure you get plenty of plant-based B12 and Creatine supplements.
Cows cause of more human death than any other animals. It's help to appreciate your burger lol And everything we eat was alive, having compassion only for the cute one is a little bit hypocrite...
Cows are wonderful animals. Such loving creatures. I want to find one to hug now.
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.
Cattle are wonderful animals. When you say cow you are speaking of the female. It's like talking about humans and saying, Women are wonderful animals.
Pedant.
I think I wont be able to eat beef after this post...They are so cute. I have seen cows before, but they would always run away from me when I tried to approach them.. :'(
That statement makes me happy to read
Don't understand why some people mistreat cows, this list is a proof that they are really different from what they are usually described. Most people think that they are dumb and sometimes even dangerous animals. But in fact, great deal of them are kind and gentle souls and some people should really take a leaf out of their book.
Due to modern Lifestyles nowadays people are far from understanding simple things like the fact that real milk (without added preservatives) goes bad in the fridge in 2-3 days and also the fact that cows are quite intelligent. In the village with dozens homes and streets cow will always find it's way home when coming back from pasture, just like a dog!
I lived in a rented house on a dairy farm as a tween and cows are indeed very affectionate. They love having their heads scratched, but man those tongues are huge,long,slobbery, and not well controlled lol. They always wanted to lick me for some odd reason. As an adult i now plan to get a few as pets when possible. They are so sweet.
I'll never forget this one moment at my last working place. The hall we worked in was next to a pasture and every other day there were cows on it. One day I was outside, standing at the fence, watching the cows. One of them approached me and watched right back. Every time I moved she followed me, not taking her eyes off of me. After a little back and forth I said "Don't worry, I don't eat meat." She turned around and went back to the other cows. Leaving me behind. Completely puzzled.
Now I want a pet cow.
These are all so sweet until you realize that the owners and their children will sell or kill these beautiful animals for profit without a second thought. I wonder if cows feel betrayal?
My favourite thing about cows is that they have best friends and they become distressed if they're separated for too long
These are just too cute! Cows are just lovely.
Cows' coats are very soft and their noses are moist. They are very sweet.
I love cows, they're very friendly even when they've never seen you before. I use to live in the country and our neighbour had pet cows who would mow their lawn and the cows often came right up to the fence and moo at me lol.
Does this poster actually not know what a calf is, or is it a spelling issue?
Makes my heart melt
❤
Well, they're not much like dogs... domestic animals will often cuddle with people! Horses are still my top ungulate.
Most animals, given half a chance, will steal your heart.
Wonderful pics! But really, "a man's best friend"? Its 2020. Women and non-binary people exist.
Why would anyone in their right mind want to eat the flesh of these beautiful creatures?
I don't now-but I could NEVER eat beef after these pix.
Cattle. When you say cow you are speaking of the female. It's like talking about humans and saying women.
Loved the happy cow pictures. Left me with a big grin.
I need a pet cow!
I want a cow.
Can we not enjoy the beauty of an animal without turning it into a meat eater vs vegetarian/vegan argument? We can all still love the animal despite what we choose to eat.
How can you love the animal and then eat it?? A bit twisted really.
Dogs and cats must eat meat to survive. Humans do not. Humans can get all of the necessary vitamins and minerals from plant based foods.
Because it's the natural source of minerals for our biology. Or would you not give dogs and cats meat? Responsible sourcing is important though.

I feel bad for eating burgers now. I'm still gonna eat them, too delicious to pass up, but feel really bad afterwards.
Not bad enough obviously.
Just make sure it's well sourced meat.
Ah thx for allowing me to do what we're literally hardwired to.
Looks like I won Spot the Vegan- lol we were literally wired for meat. XD lmao I've lost my faith in humanity. Downvote what u want but thx for all the comedy.... rofllllllllllllll
Lost faith in humanity because some people are compassionate and refuse to unnecessarily kill animals for consumption? K.
Hey downvoters, Imma eat what I want...
Actually dreamworld, YOU should think before you speak. Go watch food that kills on YouTube so you can drop some SCIENCE in your skull
How bout keeping your comments to yourself then?
Well yeah but that's like saying 'I'm gonna kill someone. It's okay though becuase I'll feel bad afterwards and maybe go to their funeral" like, feeling bad doesn't make it any better. Obviously this isn't going to change your mind about anything, I just think it's a useless comment.

Sarah, there's a fine line between selfless murder and eating food that we're hardwired to eat. Think before you speak.

I hope loads of people suddenly don't become vegan due to this. Beef and dairy farms suddenly going out of business, having to shoot the livestock...
Yeah, a real crisis if they have to shoot the livestock in stead of slaughtering them for food! Jikes!
Yes but then it would stop. At first these animals may die (though I doubt that would actually happen) but they would have anyway, and many more would have to if the meat farms existed. But that's not gonna happen anyway, I hope that maybe some people will become vegetarian\vegan becuase it is a beneficial lifestyle but yo, that's not my choice.
People are not going to go vegan overnight so there's no fear about farms going out of business or havign to shoot livestock - very silly. But I'd like to see this exploitation stop as soon as possible.
