Holy Cow: A Modern-Day Dairy Tale is the 2015 debut novel by American actor and author David Duchovny.
In the novel, a cow, a pig and a turkey escape their American farm to pursue a better life in India, Israel and Turkey, respectively. Duchovny initially pitched the story as a children's animated film, but it was rejected for its religious themes, including the pig being a convert to Judaism.
Critical reception was mixed, with distinct opinions on the novel's themes and style of humor.
