Angus St John Galloway has spent his life around cattle and is deeply concerned for their welfare. From having a family cow as a child he came to be aware of just how friendly and attached to humans they can be. The growing popularity of cows being in small holdings again, the vastly increasing intolerance for any maltreatment of cows, and the thousands of rescue organisations inspired him to produce this joyful pictorial celebration of the world’s billion cows.

– Charles Dickens
