Former Stray Dog Adopts 8 Tiny Pigs And That’s The Sweetest Thing You’ll See Today

When Wes Trevor, the owner of the ‘Spectrum Plants Gold Coast’ in Australia, found out about 8 tiny pigs in poor health, he did not hesitate and took them in. At first, they fed the piglets with special food to get them back on their tiny feet. But then something unexpected happened.

Treasure, a former stray boxer breed dog, noticed the pigs and her motherhood instincts took over. She started caring for the piglets as if they were her own babies. Soon she even started producing milk and the tiny pigs were happy to suckle on the mama dog.

Wes was not sure if that’s healthy for the dog and pigs, but after checking with a vet, he was advised that it’s all great as long as the pigs get additional nutrition and do not hurt the dog.

This beautiful story once again proves that dogs are incredibly caring, amazing creatures.

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    Please calm down. That is Kjorn's sense of humor, and it happens to be mine, as well. If it's not for you, that's fine. Live and let live.

    SQUEEEEEEE Treasure and her piglets´re too cute together, but I hope the piglets won´t be slaughtered when they´re bigger, hope Wes Trevor keeepz them as pets, pigs make great pets if they have a big garden or a farm to live on, just look at our furriend Esther The Wonder Pig or at Chris P. Bacon Pig On Wheels, and there´re more pet pigs on FB and also on Twitter, Instagram and on other social media!!! 💖💖💖
