The Chihuahua Thought the Wagon Was Strictly His Until Pearl Hopped In
There is a bumpy road through the backyard, and the wagon is the preferred transport. A cream Chihuahua in a little blue collar sits upright in the old wooden cart, big ears flared out and eyes alert, looking sideways at something in the distance. Pressed against him, a pink piglet gazes out too, snout level with the side rail. A rope stretches off to one side where someone is giving the ride a gentle pull, and the lawn is dotted with leaves, a watering can, and a few forgotten garden gloves.
Chihuahuas are the smallest dog breed, but they never seem to know it. They are confident, loyal, and very attached to their favorite people. Because they are tiny, they can get cold easily and are fragile around bigger animals, so supervision is a must. A slow, gentle wagon ride is a fun way to explore, as long as the pulling is smooth, the ground is flat, and nobody can tumble out. A vet can tell you about safe exercise for small dogs and young pigs.
We will call the piglet Pearl. She keeps one eye on the Chihuahua and one on the scenery, enjoying the rattle of the wheels. The little dog sits proudly, as if he is the owner of the whole carriage and she is his lucky guest. It is a very short trip, but they both look like they are touring a faraway kingdom.
