Mooove Over, Fido: Photo of Danville Cow(ch) Potato Goes Viral

It’s the last thing a Danville teen expected to see in her house, much less on her sofa.

Shaylee Hubbs, 17, says after leaving the door to her Danville house open, she discovered Goliath, her pet cow (yes, we said cow), snuggled up on the couch like a dog. Hubbs snapped a photo of the adorable bovine and Goliath’s photo and his incredible story went viral. The sickly calf, who came into the world weak and destined for slaughter, was rescued by Hubbs and her family.

According to KTVU, during his convalescence Goliath quickly became friends with Leonidas, the family’s huge Great Dane. Apparently, the little cow learned a thing or two from him while doing so.

“He often stood at our back door with hot breath fogging up the window as he watched the lucky Great Dane lounge around the house and on couch,” Hubbs told KTVU.

Photos of the darling duo have spread like wildfire on social media and the extremely domesticated ungulate even has his own Twitter account. Follow Goliath on Twitter. Read the full story here.
