So the fact that bovines like swimming makes them dogs?

Good grief!

I think it’s about how cows this cow uses the “dog paddle”. I’m pretty sure any 4-legged animal with a dog-like arrangement of limbs will use that stroke. Shoulder joint restrictions make back- or front-crawls, butterfly, or pretty much any other stroke impossible.

Came here to mention the poo problem, but @Mister44 beat me to it.

So any animal with that arrangement of limbs and this swimming that way, thinks it is a dog?

(Yeah, I’m having a cynical morning and this canine anthropomorphism irks me somewhat. Lazy clickbait headline. “Cow swims around owner’s pool with him” would have got me to click through just the same.)
