    Saw this on the Today Show about hugging cows as therapy at the Gentle Barn. Has anyone here ever done this before? Looks like fun and I'd be totally willing to go to the "Gentle Gaur Barn" if it ever existed!

    I believe this works with all animals, especially the larger species. But, be aware that some animals will not appreciate your hugs!!
