THIS little piggy thinks he’s a dog.

Crackle, who is living the life in Marlow Lagoon, has spent the past two months hanging out with his best mate Tyson, a 10-year-old blue ­heeler.

And Tyson’s habits have rubbed off, said joint-owner Terry Cox.

“They follow each other around the yard,” he said.

“When the dog jumps up and down the pig plays along.

“He comes and sits under my chair when I’m trying to watch TV.”

Crackle’s favourite food, apart from bags of pig food, is avocados, mangoes and chocolate milk.

“He eats and eats and eats,” Terry said.

Crackle was originally a rescue animal at the RSPCA.
