What does Docker have to do with cowsay? Docker does not develop or maintain the cowsay utility [0].

You're right - I was actually thinking about their variation of cowsay that they include in a lot of their training, whalesay:

https://hub.docker.com/r/docker/whalesay/


This image installs the cowsay utility and then adds its own "cow" file. This is the default installation of the cowsay utility, not something created by Docker. This is clear from reading the Dockerfile on that page:

# install cowsay, and move the "default.cow" out of the way so we can overwrite it with "docker.cow"
