Video: Amy the pig is fetching, dancing and playing the piano at dog shows

Move over Babe – this is real.

REMEMBER THE FILM Babe about a pig who wanted to be a sheepdog? Well now there is a real life pig who is competing in dog shows.

Amy is six months old and has graduated from puppy manners class and has now moved onto agility and obedience training.

Amy’s owner Lori Stock decided to take Amy along to puppy manners class to be housebroken.

Kathy Lang from the dog training centre where Amy goes to class said she ‘doesn’t discriminate’.

Amy soon proved to be a fast learner with Stock telling the Seattle Times that, “Amy is outgoing, affectionate and darn cute. She’s the smartest dog I have ever trained.

She’s very food motivated and quiet eager to participate in class.

She does stand out a little though…the dog on her left looks VERY confused.

So here she is in action at the Seattle Kennel Club Dog Show - fetching, dancing and even playing the piano:
