Chowder is not like other dogs. In fact, he’s not a dog at all.
Eight-year-old Chowder is a Vietnamese potbellied pig, but he’s been brought up alongside five rescue dogs and feels right at home with his furry siblings. Chowder lives on a farm with his adoptive siblings and their proud pet-parent Shelby Madere, and this unusual family has taken the internet by storm.
Chowder may be a pig, but he’s still part of the gang, and Madere shares glimpses of their adventures under the Instagram handle piggypoo_and_crew.
Chowder loves playing with his furry friends and they even wear matching collars. Together, they make an adorable crew and prove that families come in many different forms.
