And a family full of even more love, if that is even possible. What an incredible couple.
I wanted to reach through the video to hug Angel. She is adorable. How lucky that they have all found each other.
These are people I want to count among my friends! What kind, caring, innovative people. The world is better because they are in it! 
Kin to the Brahma breed and I believe this little guy is a miniature Zebu!

A zebu, sometimes known as indicine cattle or humped cattle, is a species or subspecies of domestic cattle originating in South Asia. Zebu are characterised by a fatty hump on their shoulders, a large dewlap, and sometimes drooping ears. They are well adapted to withstanding high temperatures, and are farmed throughout the tropical countries, both as pure zebu and as hybrids with taurine cattle, the other main type of domestic cattle. Zebu are used as draught and riding animals, dairy cattle, and beef cattle, as well as for byproducts such as hides and dung for fuel and manure. Zebu, namely Miniature Zebu, are kept as companion animals.

The Miniature Zebu is a modern American breed of zebuine miniature cattle. A breed association was established in 1991.
History
India has numerous traditional breeds of very small zebuine cattle, such as the Vechur breed of southern Kerala. These may be collectively known as nadudana, "small cattle".
The Miniature Zebu was established as a breed in the United States with the formation of the International Miniature Zebu Association, a breed registry, in 1991. At that time, there were small zebuine cattle in twenty-three American zoos, and others were held by some fifty private owners. The parent stock had originally been imported from Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and Sweden. By 2016 more than 6200 animals were registered.
Characteristics
The maximum height permitted for registration is 107 cm (42 in).
