Yes. I come from a farming family. I can tell you that animals make friends and enemies the same as we do. There is the cat that everyone (including the cows) shy away from, or the cat that everyone likes to have curl up with them.
Here in my own home, I have one “shy” dog. Most days, she’d like her brother to not exist. She makes this apparent in many ways. We just got a new pup…she is already going up to him and giving him kisses.
The pup seems to get along with everyone. He, however, has decided that the guinea pig is his best friend. He spends time “talking to her” (they stare at each other), kissing her…and a fe times we’ve caught them playing a little hide & seek game with one another. Cute!
BTW-Cows when milked by hand also tend to have a favorite “milker”. My gramps would holler at anyone that touched one of his “shy” girls…he said she wouldn’t let down all of her milk because she was “upset” by their hands.
