Watch as this curious adorable Shetland poodle mix befriends a young cow

Watch as this adorable shetland poodle mix befriends a young cow during his countryside walk.

In the video, Tony, a 24-week-old pup, can be seen roaming the German countryside and stopping to say hello to a local calf.

The two sniffed and licked one another while Tony tried his best to get the cow to play with him.

"Tony's young and curious and the young cow was equally curious," said Tony's owner Steve Brockman-More, 64.

"He's not so comfortable with other animals," the Scotland-born, Hefersweiler, Germany based artist continued.

"He's nervous around horses, but with cows he's okay.

"There was never any anxiety when he met the cow. They were just curious about one another."

Unfortunately, according to Steve, Tony hasn't seen the young calf since the video was taken.

"The cows get moved from field to field.

"Since that video was taken we haven't seen any cows on our walks. They're only in the fields sometimes."

Perhaps Tony will get to see his cow buddy again on another walk, but as of now, their meeting seems to be an animal missed connection.
