In elementary school we were always asked open-ended questions such as, “If you could be any animal, what would you be?”

While some more adventurous kids would give wild answers like elephants and alligators, I was always firm in my decision to be a dog. I mean, let’s get real for a second — name one animal that’s better than a dog. They can do all kind of tricks, they hate cats as much as I do, and they’re literally nicknamed man’s best friend.

And since they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I can totally relate when these country cows decided to become one with their inner dog.

These cows discovered that they could live their best lives by sitting like dogs.

Whether they’re lounging around the barn…

Or enjoying the scenic view.

“If dogs can do it, I can too!”

“I believe in equality for both farm and domestic animals.”

“I no longer have to be ashamed of being a cow. I can sit like a dog with my head held high.”

“I’ll lie around on the hood of your car, just because I can.”

Dogs better watch their backs, or pretty soon we’ll be calling cows man’s new best friend.

Don’t be surprised if I start playing fetch or barking at people in public. I’m just living out my childhood dreams.
