After the calf's mother fell ill suddenly and was given only a 20 percent chance of survival, the calf was born weighing 10 kg one month early.
To protect the calf from the cold and to take care of it, Fatih Yildirim brought it into his home.
He showed the animal to his five-year-old daughter, Hiranur, at home.
She named the calf Benekli, or 'Spotted', over time, and they became inseparable. Once Benekli was recovered, Hiranur remained by its side.
Benekli and I play games, eat from the same bottle, and sleep together, said the little girl.
The calf was raised in Hiranur's arms. The bond between them is stronger than any of ours because she takes care of it all the time. The calf follows Hiranur everywhere she goes. Sometimes after playing games, they get tired and fall asleep together when I get home. When I get home, we cover both of them," explained Hiranur's father.
