Since our visit to the Countess of Warwick Country Show a couple of weeks back where we saw pigs and their piglets, I began wondering about Mini Pigs (partly as they definitely have the cuteness factor! However you might be looking at a very hefty price tag, because they're so social they really need to be bought in pairs - however, they are hypoallergenic! These pigs are also surprisingly intelligent and, if I'm honest - dog like! They can solve complex problems, swim, dream, understand names, have an amazing memory - scientists have even found that they can be smarter than an average 3 year old child! What's even better is that they've got a great sense of direction so they can find their way back home from a fair distance away. However, sometimes they can grow bigger than promised, so sometimes owners abandon them - which of course leaves a bigger problem for the pig- where does the pig go now?
