Dog Shows Unusual Bond With Jersey Cow Nearby
A Scotch terrier in a suburb formed a remarkable attachment to a Jersey cow. Each morning the dog slipped into the pasture to walk beside his bovine sweetheart, skipped breakfast, and waited by the roadside grass. Though the cow did not reciprocate, she missed him when he was away and greeted him at his home’s fence each evening.
