Everybody loves pets in their house and while mostly it is a cat or a dog it is definitely not a buffalo. A Texas couple has kept buffalo in their house that is their pet with a room and a TV that he can watch cowboy movies on. The huge buffalo is just like any other pet except that he does get excited once in a while but the couple still doesn't mind.

According to a report in the Metro, 60-year-old Ronnie Bridges and his wife Sherron decided to keep the calf after they let go of their herd of 52 buffaloes in 2004. They decided to give away the herd after Ronnie lost vision in one eye due to sickness but since Sherron, 44 had a bonding with the calf they decided to keep it. The calf, now a buffalo called Wild Thing is over 1,000 kilos and is part of their happy family.

Even though the buffalo has lifted Ronnie a few times of his feet, they have still kept him in their house with his own room and television. Wild Thing even eats breakfast with the couple in the morning and it is like any other day in Texas.
