Cowboy and A Pig That's Not Too Big (The Rescue Series)

Cowboy the Jersey steer had to leave his first home because he was too big, and now he can’t seem to make friends at Second Chance Ranch because his size scares the other animals. Sad and lonely, Cowboy slinks into his barn stall wishing he could make himself smaller when he’s surprised by the friendly voice of a wise, potbellied pig named Bentley.

The next day, encouraged by the kind words of his new friend, Cowboy tries to introduce himself to the rest of the farm family, but his horns keep getting in the way. Will the big steer ever win the others over?

Inspired by real animals, another delightful gem in the Second Chance Ranch series of rescued pet stories by Diane Odegard Gockel,Cowboy and a Pig That’s Not Too Big teaches kids the importance of valuing themselves and being a good friend.
