Cows, meet dog. Dog, meet cows. At least, that’s how we imagine this adorable interaction going.

A six-month old boxer puppy eagerly meets a herd of cows, who provide a timid introduction at first. But after the playful pup obediently lies down, the herd gathers round to meet their new friend — so adorable!

Who knows? Maybe the friendly puppy has a future career as a herding dog.
