〝放牛吃草〞是許多年長一輩的台灣人，共同的童年回憶，在原住民部落開始引進農耕技術之後，小孩也就往往得負擔不少家中雜物，〝放牛吃草〞可說是責無旁貸的工作之一，想當然的放牛吃草變成幾個牧童伙伴培養學習人際關係的環境， 相對的牧童對水牛的情感來自於責任的生命共同體。與現代人對寵物的觀念是有很大落差的。
Cattle-grazing has been a common childhood memory for many Taiwanese people of the older generation. After cultivation skills were introduced to the tribes, soon the tribal kids had to shoulder quite a lot domestic chores, within which cattle-grazing was one of the many duties. Naturally, this duty had become an opportunity for the buffalo boys to practice their skills in developing personal relationships. A boy’s sentiment towards his buffalo was derived from the symbiotic responsibility between the human and beast. This is a concept very different from that of the present vogue of pet-raising.
