A Friesian cow on a farm in Gorey, Ireland, has impressed her owners after bonding successfully with an orphaned foal, becoming his foster mother.

The foal, named Thomas, had had a normal birth and was doing well during the first seven days of his life. He was orphaned on his eighth day when his mother suffered a severe hemorrhage.
