In numerous urban and suburban areas, the sense of community is not as strong as it once was. I have cherished memories from my childhood of block parties and playing outdoors with the neighboring kids, but as an adult, I am only acquainted with a few of my neighbors. Many people I know share similar sentiments, yet I always find joy in individuals like Boris the Golden Retriever, who actively engage in building connections with those around them.
Boris is part of The Green Family, which consists of three Golden Retrievers who also happen to be animal actors. Among his siblings, Boris has a unique bond with the neighbors next door. Rain or shine, he pays them a visit every day! The neighbors eagerly anticipate Boris’s arrival, showering him with affectionate gestures, including kisses over the fence.
Oh, and did I mention that his neighbors happen to be cows? 🐄
This heartwarming scenario unfolds as Boris remains devoted to his bovine friends, even braving the cold in winter attire to make his way through the snow. From heartening videos, it is evident that these visits are well worth the preparation and adventure, particularly when the cows are in the mood for some affectionate gestures!
Boris has forged a lasting friendship with his bovine neighbors, who exhibit sheer delight upon seeing him approach. The cows greet him as if reuniting with a dear friend, time and time again. While it may be uncertain if the cows eagerly anticipate their canine companion’s visits, their joy is palpable when Boris comes around. The golden boy is graciously met with kisses on the head by the blonde cow, and he reciprocates the gesture with utmost affection, as if it is a privilege. The cows’ adoration for Boris is truly heartening!
After all, who could resist the charms of a Golden Retriever? 🐕
Can Cows and Dogs Form Bonds of Friendship?
It is widely acknowledged that Golden Retrievers, like Boris, possess a friendly and inclusive nature, welcoming everyone they encounter. However, not everyone witnesses this friendliness extending beyond interactions with humans and fellow canines. While other dog breeds commonly fulfill various roles on farms—such as Great Pyrenees serving as livestock guardian dogs or Border Collies excelling as herding dogs—Golden Retrievers in suburban settings seldom have the opportunity to interact with farm animals. Yet, Boris is fortunate to reside in an environment that allows him to foster relationships with his animal neighbors.
Indeed, cows and dogs can become friends! Establishing a sense of comfort during their interactions is essential to prevent any harm to either party. Following some supervised quality time together, one can discern whether a beautiful friendship is blooming. Witnessing inter-species animal friendships unfold is truly a remarkable experience, and this particular bond is no exception!
