Dog and Pig are Besties

04/13/2012

Here's an adorable story of an odd animal companionship that I just read on dogheirs.com.  A Kansas woman was driving down the road and saw something fly off of a truck that was ahead of her.  It turned out that the truck was carrying livestock and the thing that flew out was a tiny piglet.  

Luckily for the piglet, the woman turned around and picked it up from the side of the road, where it lay bruised, battered and unconsious.  She brought it to a vet, who, despite some pretty severe damage which included a bad concussion and blindness in one eye, was able to save the tiny creature's life.

And now, the piglet has a buddy and protector in the form of the family dog, Hunter.  They named the pig Mu Shu and have decided to keep her as another family pet. With so much horror going on the world, both for people and animals, it's nice to hear a story with a happy ending.

Here's a news report showing the two besties.  So cute!

Who ever was driving should be shot! Then again something like this is unthinkable. But good on the lady who stopped and took him to the vet.
