Heart-warming: a boy and his cow

Amidst all the drama of Charlottesville, Guam, "social justice", BLM and what have you, it's good to be reminded that there is another side to America and Americans that the lamestream media doesn't often show us. Here's a photo published in the Des Moines Register yesterday, showing Mitchell Miner (15, from Williamsburg IA) and Audri, his heifer, resting after a showing at the Iowa state fair.

"She likes to lay down quite a bit," Miner told the Register on Monday. "I don't really understand the bond with my animal either. She just enjoys my company."

I'm not posting this photo to get a cheap laugh or be snide about Middle America. I just like it.
