Ok wait, who are the pigs and who are the dogs in this family? Maria's family of three bulldogs and two pigs has some very unusual sibling dynamics. Dodo editor Valentina hears from Maria about how growing up together has blurred the lines between who's a dog and who's a pig, especially for one bulldog who seems convinced he belongs with the pigs.

00:00I'm not sure if Barry thinks he's a pig or if the pigs think they're dogs.
00:06People are like, is that a pig? Are you walking a pig?
00:10They're like, yeah, yeah, it's a pig.
00:12Like, what's going on? Do I need a pig right now?
00:15Good boy.
00:19They see each other as brothers.
00:21It's like the perfect family, if you ask me.
00:27I made a passing joke to my husband.
00:31I was like, why don't we get a real pig?
00:33He was like, absolutely not. No, we're not getting pigs.
00:37We went to the farm and, long story short, we came home with two, Peter and Paul.
00:46When we brought the pigs home, we'd already had Barry for about a week.
00:51And Barry thought, oh my goodness, what are these little things running around?
00:56That's not a toy. That's their tail.
00:59And they literally clicked straight away.
01:03And they've been like that ever since.
01:08The family eventually grew to include two more bulldogs, Beryl and Bob.
01:14Okay, pigs and dogs have so many similarities.
01:18They're really, really similar.
01:19They'll do anything for food.
01:21They know how to sit.
01:23They know how to down.
01:24They know how to stay.
01:25Good boys.
01:28Good boys.
01:30I personally had no idea that pigs wag their tails.
01:35That's so cute.
01:37They all still get on so well.
01:40It's so great because you really can see that they're just all so happy.
01:44One big happy family of bulldogs and pigs.
