Throughout the years, we've seen people with unique pets, such as axolotls and spiders. But have you ever met a pet water buffalo? A girl named Chen Dongmei, from Sichuan, China, is the proud human of one of these fluffy creatures. From roaming the woods together to posing for selfies, Chen shares her adorable adventures alongside her water buffalo on Instagram.
Chen's water buffalo is named Niuzai (牛仔), which means “cowboy” in Chinese. The sweet animal is 2 years old, and always seems camera-ready. In many of her videos, Chen stands in an open field and calls out to Niuzai. The water buffalo then cheerfully runs to Chen's side, careful not to hurt her with his horns. In many of the clips, the Niuzai lovingly rubs his head against the girl as a way to demonstrate affection and excitement to see her.
For Chen, who seems to live in a rural area, Niuzai is also a trusty coworker. They sometimes do field work together, but there is always time for naps. As a testament to the water buffalo being like all pets big and small, Chen has captured him walking in on her while she is having a snack, hoping that his loving human will share a bite.
Chen and Niuzai's adventures are so endearing that they have sparked many people's imaginations. Some have compared their bond to that of a Disney princess and her animal sidekick, while others would love to see their bond explored in a whimsical Studio Ghibli-like film.
