The Wodaabe nomads of Niger’s Sahel treat and love their zebus like pets,
giving each of them a name. They raise them for status, not for the butcher. Which
is why this cow acts like a dog, licking its owner. Like dogs, too, Wodaabe
zebus follow their owners on the march like children following a teacher. They cause no need to be prodded from
behind.
