A salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer and a pink piglet look over the wooden edge of a garden bed. 20 / 38

Two Faces Rose Over the Garden Bed and Neither Looked Guilty

AI imageminiature schnauzerpigletgarden

Two faces rise over the edge of the garden bed, and both of them look as if they have discovered something important. A salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer with bushy eyebrows and a grey beard stares straight ahead with a thoughtful frown. Next to him, a pink piglet props her chin on the wooden board, eyes bright and snout twitching. Herbs and green leaves fill the foreground, and a hose lies coiled on the ground behind them.

Miniature Schnauzers are lively, alert, and clever, bred as farm dogs to hunt rats, and they take guarding the garden very seriously. They tend to be vocal and need regular grooming, especially around the beard and eyebrows. A garden is full of interesting smells, but it is also worth checking which plants are safe, because some common garden plants and herbs can upset a dog's or pig's stomach. Mulch, fertilizers, and slug pellets can also be harmful, so keep them out of reach. If your pet eats something unusual, call your vet right away.

We will call the piglet Pearl. She is having a wonderful time snuffling the edge of the bed, and the Schnauzer has the stern look of a supervisor making sure nothing gets trampled. Their eyes are fixed on something just out of view. Whatever it is, they are staring at it together, which makes it twice as interesting.
