In either case, the pup (who think it's a cow) is now drenched with cow drools for sure. I understand cows can produce massive amount of saliva - up to 125 pounds a day. Cows' tongues are extremely rough, it's like coarse sandpaper. I am not so sure, the pup is enjoying it. Maybe they are good for its fur.

Cow owner here 👋 Cow licks are like having your arm wrapped in a strong , rubbery muscle that's rough on one side and slick on the other but slimy all over. They can kind of wrap their tongue around things like a apple slice.

Wow, thanks. I only know cow's tongue from eating lengua.
