Consider living the life of a dog inside a calf’s body. That is the tale of Goliath, a special calf who was raised thinking he was a member of a band of dogs. On a dairy farm, he set off on a voyage that would not end well. But when Shaylee Hubbs and her family intervened and saved Goliath, destiny had other ideas and brought him to their ranch in Danville, California.

Goliath immediately grew close to the family’s three dogs after arriving and began to imitate their manners and habits. Shaylee told ABC News that Goliath imitates his furry siblings in a variety of ways, including playing games of chase, relaxing in their beds, and even getting neck rubs. Seeing Goliath, the calf, among his dog friends and his playful behaviors that blur the boundaries between animals is a beautiful sight.

Shaylee’s family discovered Goliath curled up happily on their couch—a location that is often occupied by their Great Dane, Leonidas—which gave the story a hilarious turn. It appears that Goliath had been making notes on life indoors! The family’s tolerance of Goliath’s irrational conduct was shown when Shaylee tweeted this sweet moment.

There is more to Goliath’s story than just a calf amid dogs. It is evidence of the versatility and loving character of animals. Surrounded by his dog brothers and other animal companions including goats, horses, and alpacas, he lives a happy life in Danville. It makes one wonder what experiences are ahead for him as he gets older. When he grows into a mature bull, will he still choose the couch? In this endearing story of interspecies friendship, only time will tell.
