All day long this little pig follows and hangs around its mother cow.

The piglet and mother cow mentioned above belong to Mr. Le Van Anh's family, residing in village 3, Phu Phong commune (Huong Khe - Ha Tinh).

Sharing about this strange story, Ms. Hien - Mr. Anh's wife said: About 2 months ago, she caught a piglet weighing about 4kg from her mother's hometown in Loc Yen commune (Huong Khe district) to raise. However, when she released it, it slept with the family's cows. Notably, after about 3 days, the family was quite surprised to see that the piglet was still drinking milk from its mother cow. And since then, it has been following the mother cow and the cows all day long.

Although Ms. Hien's family also raised a pig, the piglet refused to stay with them.

Ms. Hien's family also raises a pig for meat, but this piglet refuses to stay with the family and always follows the herd of cows.

It is known that this mother cow has just given birth about 6 months ago, and is currently breastfeeding both the calf and the pig.

This pig follows its mother cow all day long to suckle when it's hungry. Even when its mother cow is grazing in the field, it follows her and waits until the herd is brought home before following her back.

The pig stands on its hind legs to suckle from its mother cow.

Ms. Hien added: “There was a day when I took the cow to the field, I locked the pig in the house, but by mid-morning, the pig was hungry for milk so it ran out to the field to find its mother cow to suckle. Whenever it was hungry, it suckled its mother cow. Sometimes the mother cow lay down to let it suckle, and when the mother cow ate grass, it stood on two legs to suckle.

Perhaps because when we brought the piglets home they were still nursing, so when we got home they wanted to nurse and nurse from the cow and were allowed by the cow, so they became addicted.

Ms. Lan, a local resident, said: “I have never seen a mother cow feeding a piglet like that before. When we first brought it home, it was still skinny, but now it has gained some flesh.”
