Two rescued piglets and a three-legged pit bull might sound like the most unlikely of trios — but these three are the best of friends!
Their story began back in October when piglets Ivan and Mishka were purchased as part of a petting zoo attraction during Halloween. When the holiday season was over, the pigs were deemed useless and sent to auction for slaughter. Thankfully, a kind-hearted individual stepped in, and the piglet brothers live together at their forever home, Animal Place, a sanctuary for farmed animals.
At the Animal Place, they were introduced to Bella, a three-legged rescue pit bull. The dog's maternal instincts kicked in, keeping watch over the piglets when they first arrived. She made their transition much easier, letting them know they were finally safe.
The unlikely friends quickly became inseparable, playing in the backyard and lounging in the sun. There are plenty of unusual interspecies friendships, like this dog and orangutan who make for an unlikely duo, but there’s nothing sweeter than this.
One night, while their owner was putting the trio to bed, he caught the most adorable moment. The two pigs tried to take Bella for a walk, pulling on her leash. The pit bull's reaction is so amazing. This video shows just how lovable and hilarious pits can really be, regardless of the vicious reputation they've been given.
