Swine Sense

Years ago we owned an English setter named John, who often suffered from infected and sore ears. He was constantly being treated for it, and absolutely loved ear rubs as they seemed to make him feel better.

One day my brother’s pet pig, Chloe, was in the front yard with John. When John settled down for a nap, Chloe trotted over and started rubbing behind John’s ears with her snout. He groaned with relief so Chloe continued rubbing his ears.

From that day on, whenever John lay down, Chloe would trot over to rub his sore ears. Maybe animals have a sixth sense and hers told her John needed an ear rub.
