TikTok can be the perfect platform for users to take a glimpse of other people's loved pets. Some of these animals even go viral on the social media app, and this is what happened to an ox living in Massachusetts with his best friend.

User Laurie C (@dairygoatmother) posted a clip back in September, which has gained more than one million likes and over 13 million views, that shows her 78-year-old dad with his "best pal" Tommy, a big-sized ox.

In the video, the man can be seen petting and scratching the animal, who walks towards the TikTok user after receiving some cuddles. Based on the caption Laurie used in her post ("Tommy accepts love and scratches but really prefers apples!"), Tommy’s favorite food seems to be apples.
