Pigs and dogs make for sitcom gold.
Wow... from the headline, you would think that Millan had been running a pig-fighting ring. The text indicates an unfortunate incident, maybe a bit of short-sightedness in that Mr. Millan did not muzzle the dog. But it certainly is not cruelty.
On a side note, I wonder why the dog needed to be conditioned to tolerate pigs? There can’t be that many situations that put dogs and pigs together.
The dog owner has a pet pig that was not safe around his dog it seems.
Pigs and dogs make for sitcom gold.
Pigs are food. I grew up on a farm with a dozen pigs, and while they’re cute as a button when they’re babies, they’re not ideal as pets when they’re fully grown.
We had 6 dogs on the ranch, 4 of them were dobermans, one was a GSD, and the old man was a bloodhound. The GSD did a fantastic job as a herder, as they are wont to do, and the dobermans followed suit. You wouldn’t deliberately put them together, but dogs have been used for centuries to help herd all sorts of farm animals, pig included.
That's journalism today.
The first rule of Pig Fight Club is you don’t talk about Pig Fight Club!
good thing these idiots didn’t see our border collies working cattle and hogs when I was a kid. Pretty hard to hurt a hog.
