Ol' Maxie Pad was one of the sweetest dogs God ever placed on the earth! This picture was taken several years ago, shortly after his first encounter with the bovine. Upon seeing this particular cow standing just on the other side of this fence with several of it's friends, Max ran at it at full speed, unaware of the barbed-wire fence that stood between them. When he hit the fence, all 105 pounds of my old friend came to an immediate dead-stop. It scared the snot out of me and for a couple of seconds I thought it might have killed him, or at least, cut him up real bad.
Somehow, there wasn't a scratch on him, as far as I could find. After he shook it off he walked back over to the cow and stood there waiting to see what it would do. The rest of the cows meandered off; all except this one Ol' gal. I don't know if it was her first encounter with a dog, but she warmed up to Max almost immediately.
From that point on Max never chased another cow; although he did bark at them every time he saw a heard meandering around a pasture. Funny how the only thing cows seem to ever do is eat, meander, lounge and make room for more food. And that's probably why Max ended up getting along so well with the bovine. Like my old K9 companion, the cow seems to have a lot of this stuff figured out🐮🐮🐮
