Shelby rescued Chowder from a slaughterhouse at 4 months old. She says it took a while to gain his trust, but now he knows he's loved.

"He's got me completely wrapped around his hooves," she said.

It didn't take long for the dogs to accept Chowder into their pack. To them, he's not a pig - he's their brother.
