Real life Babe: Pig learns to herd sheep
For this clever little piggy, life isn’t exactly a bore. Small, but no longer perfectly formed after a mix-up at the vets that left him castrated, he is hogging the limelight after mastering an array of tricks more usually taught to dogs. Called Sue, after the Johnny Cash song A Boy Named Sue, on command he can shake hands by ‘giving his trotter’, run through tunnels, navigate round cones, climb ramps and even do a figure of eight. Owner Wendy Scudamore believes her talented porker could not only beat canine competitors in an agility contest, but even turn out to be a real-life Babe and learn how to herd sheep just like the pig in the hit movie. – From Daily Mail UK
