EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken around 1945, we find the renowned dog trainer, Barbara Woodhouse, engaging in an unexpected yet heartwarming pastime. Known for her successful methods in training dogs, Woodhouse's passion for animals extended far beyond canines. Here, she is pictured amongst her beloved herd of 16 dairy cows, each adorned with a warm coat to protect them from the cold weather. Barbara Woodhouse, dressed in a simple yet practical outfit, stands amongst her bovine friends with an air of kindness and compassion. Her gentle touch and caring nature were not limited to dogs alone. This unique approach to farming was her way of ensuring regular and unvarying supplies of milk for her family and community. The idea of dressing cows in coats might seem unconventional, but Woodhouse believed that this practice not only kept the cows comfortable during harsh winter conditions but also strengthened the bond between farmer and livestock. The image of Barbara, surrounded by her coat-wearing cows, is a testament to her deep connection with animals and her innovative approach to farming. This photograph, taken in the mid-20th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to understanding and caring for animals, demonstrating that kindness and compassion are essential elements in nurturing not just dogs, but all creatures great and small.
