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.

That’ll do pig…. That’ll do.
That is one happy pig!
Yes, Gary, happy as a pig in…!!
“Graduated from puppy manners class”!! A newspaper and tray no longer works!!
That was some of the worst piano playing I’ve ever heard.
Just wait till the poison kicks in. Then this “dog” will be bacon.
You mighta fooled them other three, but you don’t fool me !
