Video: ‘Herding’ Dog Accidentally Befriends a Cow & Now They’re Inseparable

Farm life can be unpredictable, but even by countryside standards, this friendship is something special. Meet Sarge, a gentle, bright-eyed farm dog, and Daisy, the black cow who’s apparently decided he’s her emotional support animal. In the video shared on Instagram, these two couldn’t be more different, one’s a furry ball of energy, the other’s a calm, slow-moving graze. Yet they’ve somehow synced their rhythms perfectly. Whether it’s the way Daisy tenderly licks Sarge’s ears or how he flops onto his back in total surrender, it’s clear that this “accidental” friendship was meant to be. As the caption on the post says, “Opposites attract right??”

It’s no wonder this heart-melting clip has racked up over 363k likes — everyone loves an unlikely duo, especially when they’re this genuine. The video opens with Daisy giving Sarge a full face wash. Her giant tongue carefully sweeps over his fur. He just sits there, patient and trusting, like this is their daily routine (which, by the looks of it, it probably is).

The in-video text says, “When your ‘herding’ dog and cow accidentally become besties.” The dog, who was probably supposed to keep an eye on the livestock, seems to have abandoned his duties for a new best friend.

The following few clips show the pair in various cozy positions. Snoozing side by side, lounging on the porch steps like old friends, and even lying in the grass with their backs almost touching.

Sarge seems completely at peace around Daisy. He rolls onto his back, paws in the air, while she sits beside him, the picture of calm companionship. In another frame, Daisy rests her head gently on his, sealing their bond with one last affectionate lick.

The comments are pure gold: “I’m only seeing two dogs,” joked one viewer, while another added, “The cow said she doesn’t remember giving birth, but this is her baby.” Judging by their closeness, Daisy would probably agree.
