 Susan Klingenberg rescued calf Bucket from a livestock auction, never knowing how close he'd become with her beloved pup

After Susan Klingenberg carried a newborn calf named Bucket home from a Maryland livestock auction, he laid down inside the house on her dog Colton's bed — and immediately fell asleep.
"He's just like, 'This looks comfortable,' " Klingenberg recalls.
The next day, Colton, a St. Bernard mix, and Bucket started playing and running together outside as if both were dogs.
And they were "snuggling together," says Klingenberg. "It was so cute, like two peas in a pod."
That is April 1, 2017 - Bucket is only 5 days old there and was exactly the same size as Colton and wearing her jacket. I saved him at the auction on 3/28/17 Colton the dog and Bucket the cow --unlikely friends at the littlebucketsfarm sanctuary in brodnax, VA

The bond remained strong between the best friends as Bucket, now 5, grew to more than 1,200 pounds — and started kneeling down to get on eye level with the now 9-year-old Colton to play, nuzzle and groom each other.

Klingenberg, 51, a retired business analyst and founder of the Brodnax, Virginia-based Little Buckets Farm Sanctuary (named after Bucket), posted an adorable video of the two through the years on Instagram 

Bucket comes when she calls him, and she considers him a "grass puppy" because he has the same personality as a dog.




She marvels: "They truly love each other. It's special to witness. It really has been a beautiful friendship."
