When her parents refused to buy her a horse, this 15-year-old German teenager decided to train the family cow instead. It took a couple of years, but the girl, Regina Mayer, eventually taught the cow to follow commands, jump over fences, and otherwise behave more or less like a horse. Aside from being cute and funny, it’s an interesting case of animal psychology, kind of like that tiger that raised piglets.
