September 17, 2007: Dog adopts piglet

This Ananova story says the dog, named Huihu, adopted the piglet after her five pups were stillborn.

Is that a suckling pig? Hmm?

Wonder if the piglet's owner is still looking for it?

As a teenager, a bunch of us would be cruising in the car. When we'd see someone walking a dog, we'd yell to them "that's a nice PIG you have there". The person would answer, of course "that's not a pig, it's a dog", to which we would respond "I was TALKING to the DOG"!

Good times....

Eh...If Angelina Jolie and Madonna can do it...

Baboon adopts chicken at zoo

(Reuters) - A lonely baboon in a private Lithuanian zoo has adopted a chicken he saved from certain death last month and the two have formed a fast friendship, the zoo's director said Friday.

The chicken was intended as food for other animals in the zoo, but escaped and was sheltered by Mitis, a six-year-old Hamadryas Baboon, Edvardas Legeckas, who runs the zoo near the port city Klaipeda in western Lithuania, told Reuters.

Mitis has been fed chicken meat before, but this time he fell in love with his food, Legeckas said.

"He plays with the chicken, cleans its feathers, sleeps with it, and takes care as if it was his own baby child," the zoo director said.

"But I am not sure how long this affair would last, because baboon may finally realize this is food."

Baboons, with their distinctive long dog-like muzzles and heavy powerful jaws, are omnivorous, but usually prefer fruit. In the wild, they live in close-knit social groups.

"Obviously this baboon needed someone to communicate with," the director said.

Assuming with a name like Yao Li, the owner is Chinese...

I wonder if a communist dog can raise a capitalist pig?


Holy Shit!!! Seven posts and no one has eaten either of them...yet.

We would have if Glatt's link was working.

So we have a Monkey adopting a Rooster (bringing tears to the eyes),
and a Dog adopting a Pig (making some think of BBQ)....

I can't wait for the one where the Rat adopts the Ox

Look like that one's destined to give someone some wood.

Not to worry, That skinny dog will be eating a pile of poo soon.

Hand

That pink, burnt, gross hand in the top left is disgusting.

That's what happens to you when you eat dog-milk drinking pigs.

You are going to hate the fuck of year of the dog. As I, a dragon, have experienced for myself. Not always true- but well.......they're bastards.


Update: Blue is complimentary. Red is who you won't be able to stand.


Each slice is a space of 2 hrs. which is why there are funky numbers there. Denotes a period of 24 hours.

Ok done.

Hours? Years, I think.

That dog looks very under nourished to me. Like most dogs in Asia, it's probably not cared for very well. That pig would be taking any nurishment the dog had left. Poor dog it's not happy at all
