This orphaned calf found next to its dead mother made a miraculous recovery after being taken in by a dog lover - and now he thinks he's one of the pack. Edward Foy, 27, found the three-month-old Brahman calf - called Peanut - sniffing at his dead mother who had been hit by a car, with his umbilical cord still attached.

He bundled the calf into his car with some towels and took him home to his 93 acre beachfront property in Broome, Western Australia.

Peanut bonded immediately with his six dogs and, as he has never lived among his own kind, became one of the pack himself.

He loves nothing more than sprinting up and down the beach with his canine pals.

Edward said: “He just thinks he's a dog. When the dogs start barking he’ll wander over as well.

“He follows me around. When I take him into the water the dogs will run off, but I will feel his hooves scraping against the back of my calves.

“He's still learning what his name is, but when I call he’ll wander back a little. When it comes to feeding he’ll start sucking on my arm. He loves the taste of sweat off your arm on a hot day."
