Here in Bloomington, Indiana, we have a lot of these large-eyed, big-eared roaming free-range cattle that seem not to care much about the two-legged kind and are mindful of traffic. For example, I was headed east on Howe the other day, approaching Euclid, and spotted these two girls on the sidewalk:

After walking to the corner, this one looks first back up Howe behind my car:

Note that her left and right ears are up and down the cross street, which is Euclid. She’s on Howe. Next, she looks straight north up Euclid:

Note that her ears are still trained in both directions. Next, she looks to the right, down Euclid to the south:

Again, ears in both directions. Don’t you wish your dog could do that? (Cats can. Watch for it.)
After that, I kept driving east on Howe, and saw both these girls in my rear view mirror crossing Euclid. Didn’t get a picture, but I did notice them ignoring a two-legged pedestrian nearby.
