Dog adopts piglet
17 September 2007 @ 1:21 p.m.

A dog in China has adopted a piglet, nursing it as if it were her own puppy.

Huihu, from Chongqing city, adopted the piglet after her five pups were stillborn.

"She was very depressed for one week, then one night came home with a tiny black piglet following her," says owner, Lao Yi.

Lao Yi says that ever since, Huihu has reared the piglet as if it were her own puppy, nursing her and taking her around.

The two have become celebrities in the neighbourhood, attracting many visitors, according to the Chongqing Business Papers.

Lao Yi says that over the course of one month, the piglet has already put on 2kg in weight, drinking only dog milk.
