Little Piggies

A family in Spanish Fork, Utah says they wouldn't have believed it if they didn't see it with their own eyes; the family pig being a mother to two Border collie puppies.
The Bosley family says their pig "Bertha Mayhou" recently gave birth to five piglets, but two of them didn't make it.
They also got two purebred Border collie pups and put the pups in their own pen in the barn. The Bosleys say the pups kept getting out of their pen and wouldn't eat their food, but kept getting bigger.
This past Saturday they found out why. The pups were getting into the pig's pen and feeding off the pig alongside the piglets.
"I happen to come out here on Saturday and they were in the pen suckling the pig," said Nancy Bosley. "... I have never seen anything like that."
The Bosleys say the mother pig watches over the two pups as if they were her own, even occasionally nudging the pups while they're sleeping just to make sure they are OK.

Good video.
