The unusual friendship of one year-old pot bellied pig SK and golden retriever Golden has become an attraction in Barangay Zone 14-A in Talisay City, Negros Occidental.
Passersby can’t help but stop and watch SK and Golden play in a garden from across the house of 17-year-old animal lover Kenneth Posa. Even Kenneth was surprised the first time he saw his pet pig play rough with his dog.
"They don’t fight. When I release them from their cages, they don’t separate. They do things together," Posa said. Posa added that SK thinks he is one of the dogs because he grew up with them. "My pot belly pig joins my dogs when I give them a bath. He really thinks he is a dog. He hasn’t even mingled with other pigs," Posa said.
"All my 19 dogs love SK. But Golden is the closest to SK. Once I tried putting another dog in Golden’s play pen. He got angry," he added. SK does not only behave like a dog but he also eats dog food! "He loves nibbling. He likes the sound of crunchy dog food," Posa said. And when it is time to go home, SK comfortably relaxes not in a pen but in a dog couch just like his bestfriend.
