In another life, these two were brothers I just know it. Look at the way they play together. Nothing is sweeter than this cow and dog because of the bond they share. They aren't just cohabitating on the same property, no. They are pals! Just one glance at a video of the two of them horsing around is proof of this fact, and I'm not the only one who thinks so.

The way these two love each other is so amazing. Who knew that a dog and cow could become such good friends?

Dogs are man's best friend, but what about cows? While I can't speak for every pup/cow pairing, these two clearly have a friendship with each other. They take their playtime seriously! The two were caught on camera charging at each other. Don't worry though, this is clearly a case of friendly roughhousing. Neither the dog nor the cow were hurt!

Pup was definitely in play pose as he dodged and pounced on his cow brother. And the cow returned his affection! The two went back and forth as they bounded at each other. And before you know it, it was over just as quickly as it started - like all sibling spats.

"Brothers," the video's caption states. They certainly are. These two really are something special. People were so charmed by their unusual friendship and said as much in the comments section.

"Horses and cows are always best friends," wrote one person.

"‘He's a weird lookin' dog, but I love him," wrote one person as if speaking for the dog. "He's a weird lookin' cow, but I love him," they added, as if speaking for the cow.

"I imagine this is what Heaven looks like," someone else added.

While one person asked the question we're all wondering: "Disney movie of these two when?"

Dogs Playing vs. Dogs Fighting

It can be hard to tell when a dog is feeling playful as opposed to when they're feeling aggressive. The number one way to tell between the two is by their body language. A playful dog will look loose and languid. An aggressive dog will look tense and rigid.

Aggressive dogs might growl or bark and their tail might be tucked beneath them. While a playful dog will appear to be happy and "bouncy."

So as you can see, this is one playful pup!
