Dog adopts rescued piglet and helps nurse her back to health

By George

Hunter adoped Mu Shu the pig

A piglet fell out of a livestock truck in Kansas and was found on the road by a family who fortunately happens to run a vet hospital. They decided to take the pig in and take care of the baby animal, naming her Mu Shu.

When the family dog, Hunter, met the piglet he started to look after Mu Shu, and an odd friendship was formed. Hunter helps lead the partially-blind pig around, plays with her and keeps her clean. The pair are completely inseparable now, so the family has decided to adopt Mu Shu permanently.

I love this story!!! Nice people, good dog, cute pig!

Well, if that isn't the SWEETEST story. Thank you for stopping to rescue the little piglet. What a darling doggie to care for her. God bless the new "parent" and thanks for keeping them together. Great story. :o)

Almost makes people swear off pork chops after this. Almost. Hunter should be cared for as well as he looks after WuShu.

How cute! This brings a smile to my face!

Such a heartwarming story! Little MuShu and Huter are best friends. I'm so glad an animal lover was there to save her. Are they going to get to stay together?

Thankfully MuShu had a guardian angel looking out for her that frightfull day! How hilarious she is running around the couch!!! I see that starting my day out reading these heart-warming stories is good for the soul!

Strange bedfellows. Awww.
