Pig created a sensation at this year's Do Dah Day festival. The unusual, oddly shaped dog has an equally unusual story.
-snip-
As would be expected, Pig's unusual appearance draws attention whenever Dillenbeck takes her out in public. But beyond appearances, Pig is, well, just a happy, fun-loving dog who likes to play fetch or wrestle with her housemates Lady and Tank, Welsh Corgis Dillenbeck has had for years. Pig loves snacks and food and naps.
-snip-
"Pig doesn't know there's anything wrong with her," Dillenbeck said. And true, that's the way Pig acts. But she has plenty of issues. Dillenbeck said Pig is missing part of her spine; she's missing several ribs. And she has vertebrae that are fused and twisted. Near her neck, her spinal cord splits into two separate cords. Her hips and joints are rotated in the wrong positions.
Yet, Pig runs and is good at standing up on her hind legs, and she is in no obvious pain.

I was going to joke that a cathedral somewhere is missing a gargoyle, but she really seems like a sweetie.

Second only to having a happy wife and kids at home is having a happy dog.
To: Slings and Arrows
I would take her in a second.
