A Series Of Events Led This Cow To Believe That She Is Actually A Dog

Friendly Moo
Have you ever seen a cow be so friendly, especially with other animals? Well, Harveigh was certainly not shying away from any of the attention she was getting. She was reciprocating the interest that the family dogs were showering her with. This was actually the beginning of a number of beautiful friendships that would certainly be fit for a plot in a children’s book. It was such a cute thing to see.
Adopting The Traits
To think that this calf had been born into such a harsh environment initially was hard to believe now. After healing from the struggle she had to face, Harveigh was fast to adopt the behavior of those canine friends she made at the family home. It was a strange but beautiful sight to behold for Tammy and her family. They would often play all day and night long, seemingly unaware that they belong to two completely different species of animals!
Mutual Feelings
The dogs loved the company of the cow and vice versa. It was such an odd but wonderful sight to see. The affection was mutual so there was no trouble when the animals spent time together. On her Facebook account, Tammy updated, “Sealy loves to spend her time playing, cleaning, and protecting baby Harveigh. These two have such a special bond.”
Larger Each Day
We are all aware we associate cows with the farm. Has anyone ever hear of a cow being raised inside a family home? So obviously, the Canton family house was clearly not able to accommodate the domestic cow. There was also another catch that leads to further problems. Since Harveigh had now grown to be over 400 pounds, she was taking up too much space. A problem was brewing…
A New Spot Needed
There was no problem housing the calf in the family laundry room when she was little, but as time went on, Harveigh’s size was growing too. She was no longer the tiny calf that fit in the laundry room. Tammy could see that the calf needed a new place to stay. She had to use her mind a little to try and give the cow a nice and cozy space where she would not feel so constricted. But where could this space be?
Not Identifying Anymore
Since the cow had been living insides the family home for so long, her cow instincts had lessened as time went by. So cine Harveigh had become so conditioned by her indoor life, she absolutely refused to spend time in the pasture and graze along with the family’s six other cows. She did not identify with them anymore and so she was not willing to spend time with any of them.
