The bestselling author of How Dogs Love Us stumbles onto a special friendship with a cow named BB and sets out to crack the code of communicating with this most common but much misunderstood animal.


'Heartfelt, absorbing and vivid.' Rosamund Young, bestselling author of The Secret Life of Cows


Gregory Berns is a leading neuroscientist who has extensively studied dogs and how they think. But when he and his wife buy a small farm in rural Georgia and populate it with a handful of cows, they can't imagine how their lives will be transformed. As he gets to know his cows, Berns' affection for them grows, along with his curiosity. He applies his scientific eye to the cognitive and emotional lives of his cows, who turn out to have impressive memories and to be capable of forming lasting bonds with people. Gregory Berns is a natural storyteller. He falls in love with his cows, and they fall in love with him. In particular, he forms a special bond with BB, his cowpuppy.

This hugely readable memoir by a New York Times bestselling author blends fascinating scientific explanations of animal behaviour with a candid, moving, and sometimes hilarious account of the lives of cows.
