Unlikely animal friendships are always adorable. This is especially true if the animals have similar temperaments, like this dog and piglet!
The two-year-old pit bull, Apollo, and six-month-old piglet, Grizzly, live in Fontana, California.
The pair spend most of the time in their backyard, simply playing and enjoying time together. And one day, the two ended up going on a big adventure. Someone left the side gate open in the backyard, and the pair decided to venture out into the world. They started running through the streets together.
Bystanders called the police and told them about the dog and pig that were loose on the streets.
However, Apollo and Grizzly were just having way too much fun and weren’t planning on going home just yet.
When the police arrived, and they just couldn’t stop smiling when they saw Apollo and Grizzly enjoying their time together. One of the police officers was immediately in awe by their cuteness:
“The (lil) piglet and the pit bull were best buds.”
When the police arrived on the scene, the adorable pit bull Apollo realized a couple of moments later that their playtime was over.
However, his piglet friend was a bit reluctant to surrender himself to the police officer and didn’t allow them to capture him right away, even trying to run away for a bit. Luckily, the officers were able to “arrest” both of the two escapees shortly afterward in hilarious fashion.
Police officers were able to track down the owner of Apollo and Grizzly thanks to the pit bull’s microchip.
It turns out that the two escaped from Michelle Aviña’s house just a couple of streets away from where they were found. Michelle was very worried about her two lost pets and was thrilled to hear they were safe and sound.
“Someone left our side gate open and they walked out,” Michelle said to The Dodo. “Usually they’ll stay in the yard, but I think they were feeling adventurous that morning.”
The woman also says that these two animals are truly inseparable and are constantly alongside each other.
“They eat together, sleep together, dig holes together,” she added. “Wherever Apollo goes, Grizzly is right behind him. Who would ever think, right? A ‘vicious’ pit bull and a pig. But they’re best buds.”
What a beautiful friendship!
The police shared the funny photos of the pair on Facebook along with an important message about microchipping pets:
“Please remember to microchip your pets….even lil piglets can be microchipped.”
We’re glad these two are back home where they belong, and we’re sure they have many years of fun friendship ahead of them!
