The cow is maybe reported missing, but it couldn't be right now since the person is using a telephone, so maybe in the 1900s

Cow Call of shame

He had the cow with him in his car but then the cow started to act up so he took a stop at a station and went to a telephone box put a quarter in and dial his owner and told him "Your cow has been very naughty. He has been throwing hay all around the car and has been mooing the whole way! You better pick him up before I'll do something about!". The owner got scared because he thought that he was got to leave the cow with someone else that he doesn't know, so he rented a car and drove as fast as he can to pick up his car but there was traffic! So he waited and waited and waited... until it finally started to move. But he was to late the cow and the man with him already left. So he sadly drove back home without the cow, he started to drive more slowly to see if he sees him but doesn't. The only reason why he rushed to get his cow was because his dad got the calf for him when he was little right before his dad passed away, and has been with him since. Just when he thought he was gone, that's when he got back to his barn and heard a familiar noise. It was his cow! Back at home, safe and sound! Looks like the the owner has guessed wrong!

A person is calling somebody while holding the cow's rope. And the cow is just chilling looking neutral and minding its own business. And behind the cow is a barn or something, I do not know but they keep all the cows (I guess) or it could be just cows or cows and other animals. You never know. And it has circular lightings and the filter is like olden days.

He was talking to his friend on the telephone with his cow. Then his cow ran away without him noticing. After that him and his friend started to fight so he asked his cow if he was right: "Hey, who do you think is right? If you think I am right then moo". He said that because everytime he talks to his cow he moos. But when he turned around his cow was gone, he started screaming "NO!". Someone asked him "what happened?" he said "my COW IS GONE!" then the person said "oh no do not worry. I will help you find him or her". "No I do not care that he is lost I care that he is lost so now he can not moo that I am right".

I am too lazy to tie the cow in the barn, so I came up with a really smart idea. Just bring the cow wherever you go!

Cow in a Pageant! This cow's name is Rita. This cow got to know about a "Talent Pageant: You are judged based on your skills and not the looks". She decided to enter ion the pageant and won first price for producing the best tasting, organic, pasture raised milk (Rita loves to stay out, graze out, have fun with friends outdoors, You can tell this by some dirt on her legs and tail.) as you can see in the picture, the cow's owner just got to know about her winning the first prize in the completion...After this, the owner decided to give all of the cows two extra hour daily for playing outside because he knew this will help them in production of good quality milk...
