Dog Nurses Rescued Piglet Back to Health
A unlikely partnership formed between a dog and a rescued piglet is the basis for this adorable report from FOX25 news.
Apparently, Hunter and Mu Shu were introduced to one another after Hunter’s owner found the baby pig injured on the side of a Kansas road. It is assumed that the piglet was bounced out of a livestock truck and suffered injuries from tumbling on the pavement.

‘Mu Shu’ could not have found herself in better hands – Hunter’s family runs an area vet hospital. They took Mu Shu in and noticed that as she started her recovery, Hunter seemed to feel compelled to look after her. They say he acted as a guide for the partially blind youngster, leading Mu Shu around the clinic. Now he bathes her, plays with her, and the two have even been seen cuddling together for naps.

In fact, the pair have hit it off so well that Mu Shu has found a permanent home: Hunter’s family has decided to adopt the pig, saying that after all of this time spent together, Hunter and his new friend are inseparable.

Cute story.My better half, (on a whim) decided to purchase a pot bellied pig named "Bella". Not sure why, I think she heard that they made good pets. This little pig used the litter box to do her business, (we also have a cat) snugged up to us to be petted, was instant pals with the puppy we have. Even run around and acted like a dog, wagging it's tail..and barked? It sounded like a bark to me anyway..of course it made the usual grunts & oink noises also. Unfortunately, Bella was beginning to get a little hard on the furniture. And as it turns out, pot bellied pigs grow a little more than the wife thought, so we gave her away to a new owner.

Partly my fault, because I was threatening to make her a mini pork chop dinner. I wouldn't have really done it...because that was really one cool pig. I just seen buying all new furniture in my near future. Hope she's OK.
