Tommy, the massive ox residing in Massachusetts, has taken the internet by storm with his sheer size and gentle demeanor. The 12-year-old purebred Brown Swiss ox weighs an astonishing 3,000 pounds (1360 kilograms) and towers over his 78-year-old owner, who takes care of him.
Thanks to a video captured by the owner’s daughter, Laurie Balawender Cuevas, Tommy has become a TikTok sensation, racking up millions of views. In the video, Tommy can be seen grazing in a field while his diminutive owner stands beside him, emphasizing the stark contrast in size.
According to Cuevas, the family has had Tommy since he was only two days old, and he has grown to be over 6ft tall at both his shoulder and hip. She described Tommy as “a special member of the family” who brings joy and happiness to her father’s life.
Caring for a massive animal like Tommy is no small feat, but Cuevas says that her father takes his job of keeping Tommy healthy and happy very seriously. For Tommy, his only job is to keep his owner young and happy, and he does it well.
Tommy’s gentle and compassionate nature has won the hearts of people worldwide, with many expressing their love for the giant ox on social media. While his size may be daunting, it’s hard not to be charmed by his kind and friendly demeanor.
