Goliath The Baby Cow Thinks He’s a Dog

Oh my stars.  This calf thinks he's a canine.

Goliath was once a sickly, day-old baby, abandoned by some cruel scorpion at the dairy farm.  According to Town & Country Magazine, a lovely woman by the name of Shaylee Hubbs found the calf, who wasn't even strong enough to suck on a bottle.  

With the help of the family vet, and the care of their Great Dane, Leonidas (a male), Goliath has grown into a delightful young cow.

"He would lick the little cow on the face and try to nudge him to stand up," Hubbs told CountryLiving.com of Leonidas.

"He would lay down with the sick little cow for hours just to keep him company. Leo, of course, was so bewildered at what the cow was trying to do and thought it was a fun game to play. The Great Dane and Holstein bull became the best of friends.​"

The family named him Goliath because of the strength he gained.  

Even though Goliath calls a lovely playhouse in the backyard his bed, the curious cow would "fog up the windows" of the family home and stare jealously at the dogs, who got to lounge on the couches day after day.

So, he did what any cow in his position would do.  He saw an opportunity and seized it while Hubbs went down the hill to feed the barn animals.

"We panicked and looked all around the house and checked for any open gates," Hubbs recalled. "Everything seemed in order. Then we walked into the house and look who we found lounging ever so comfortably on our couch—Goliath!!! This was triumph and victory, a nice comfortable place on the couch!​"
