A four-month-old rescue calf licked and nibbled at the side of a wheelbarrow that had been left in the barn.

The owner of the Jersey veal calf, adorably named Crouton, commented: "He loves the wheelbarrow because it carries food and is also an excellent object for scratching his head."

At his home in Squirrelwood Equine Sanctuary in Montgomery, New York state, Crouton works as a therapy cow and provides comfort to veterans suffering from PTSD.

As well as being good friends with the wheelbarrow, Crouton's best friend is a goat called Lucious OG.

Crouton is a 4 month old rescued Jersey veal calf. He lives at Squirrelwood Equine Sanctuary in Montgomery NY. He and his best friend Lucious OG, the goat live their best lives here at the sanctuary.

Crouton was raised with dogs. He thinks he’s a dog. Comes right up and begs for treats and scratches behind his ears
