Taking a Walk With Two Dogs And a Small Pig

The pig has not quite decided

he is one, as he tussles with

not quite crunching down. They sniff

things in the mud, side by side,

though the pig grunts and roots

to be touched. He squeals and runs off

while the dogs snuggle up for more.

either. See? Here he comes,

ears flapping, his hooves flashing

rapidly on their stubby legs.

Look! He's wagging his ropy tail.
