Many people don’t realize that dogs and pigs share a lot in common. Both are incredibly intelligent and can learn tricks. They also share a love of belly rubs and snuggling with their human friends. Unfortunately, the majority of people never get to see this side of piglets because they prefer to think of them as “food,” and little else. (You know, because once you learn your food had a name and personality, things can get “weird.”)
Anyone who is brave enough to get to know a pig, however, knows what wonderful and complex companions these animals can make. In this video, two rescued piglets, Ivan and Mishka, come face to face with their domestic counterpart, Bella the Pit Bull. Knowing their intelligence and adorableness is matched, the piglets decide to make a bit of a power play and show Bella who’s boss by taking her for a walk!
Seeing these little ones run around with their dog friend just solidifies the idea that, aside from foot shape, dogs and pigs have a ton in common. So why love one and eat the other?
