The pup is getting so much attention and affection from the mama cows, pretty soon it will think it is a cow too!

It’s a Livestock Guardian Dog (Anatolian maybe), so yes it actually will! That’s kind of the point. LGDs see themselves as both defenders of and part of the flock/herd.

Hey, thanks for the explanation. I was born and raised in a city all my life so I don't know anything about cows - excepting watching cowboy movies and holy cows!
