One night, Harry the Puppy, who loves ropes (It is said Newfoundland dogs once helped fishermen haul in their nets), picked up Scout the Ox's lead rope and invited a tug of war. The calf, Scout, who’s now halter trained, readily followed Harry’s tugs. With Harry leading the way they made several trips up and down the driveway, appearing to throughly enjoy this self-invented interspecies play.
