My wife, at the age of 6, on holiday in East Anglia won a 6 week old pig. She called him, with great imagination, 'Porkie' and took him for walks, much like a dog, he became house trained. As he grew he he went to live on a farm, but not knowing he was a pig, and regarding himself as a dog, did not like the other pigs at all.
She also won a goat, but that's another story.
In "our village" can we take pigs for "walkies"?
