As Rookie started growing up, he refused to leave his foster mama’s side. The farm owners cherished this sweet bond, but were forced to sell the cow when the farm faced a heavy financial crisis.
Rookie became orphaned once again as he saw his mama cow being taken away. He ran after her and begged the humans to stop, but it was a done deal. After that day, Rookie grew numb and refused to touch his food altogether.

The farm owners felt helpless at Rookie’s withdrawal and hoped that he would recover soon. But one day, Rookie buckled down and just ran away. He traced the cow’s smell and used his sharp hearing to follow the faint agonized moos of his mama miles away from the farm.
