Animal-assisted therapy shows a positive impact for people diagnosed with autism, behavioral problems, depression, addiction, and other medical conditions.

Animal therapy includes the likes of dogs, cats, birds, pigs, and horses (equine therapy).

Now, Mountain Horse Farm, a bed-and-breakfast in Finger Lakes, New York, offers animal therapy in the form of cows.

In comparison to horses, cows lie on the grass, inviting a practice called cow cuddling.

An equine therapist supervises the sessions and monitors the animals to ensure they have a positive experience, too.

As of this writing, only two cows can do the job of animal therapy and take on no more than two one-hour sessions a day. Bella and Bonnie are highlander-Angus crossbred cows who can be pet, brushed, or talked to as a form of de-stressing.
