Answers:

Apples and oranges, my friend. I've owned my pet pig since 9wks. old and he started a happy life with my 9 month old pup. We knew he would out live his buddy, who passed May 10th at 14 1/2 years. So, better than a dog,.well, they live longer, they're more stubborn (because they're very smart), and you can't very well travel when ever you please, unless you have a very good friend to "pig-sit". Oh, and you have to "pig-proof" your home, cuz they'll find a way to get to what they want,.don't party cuz they'll snag food off the coffee table, but only when they know it's "safe" (like your drunk and not paying attention:) After 15yrs, yeah, since day 1, I love my pig, he's the best, but better than a dog?..well, I'll only have one pig in my lifetime cuz he taught me enough of the ways of a smart pig "jedi", but I'll have dogs till the day I die, cuz they don't squeal when you take them on road trips!

Love to all animals!!

P.S. They don't stink or smell.

The problem with pigs is they keep growing, and no matter how nice they are it is difficult to control or clean up after a 500 or 700 lb. pet.

Pigs can't go everywhere, As dogs can go to more places. I'd choose a dog over anything tho. Male dog- has better behavior and more lovable sometimes.

Actually, potbellied pigs are very loyal and fun to be around as well. However, they are extremely difficult to take care of (you better not be squemish). But compared to a dog, the dog wins hands down. They are easy to care for and also very good friends.

Pig is a lot tastier.
