From Henri Verneuil's 1959 movie "La Vache et le Prisonnier" (The Cow and I ) with actor Ferdandel playing a POW on the run with his cow:

I happen to like that set.
The cow actually looks like a cow.

I like the figure and the cow looks happy

. It's tail looks a bit thick more like a pump handle, but perhaps that's how you get the milk out!!

I've been looking for that cow for twenty years.

I'm glad someone finally "found" it. Not quite perfect but closer than anything else I've found. I'll be tracking one down for a project.
