Sorry if this is old news, I can't get my head round him. Looking at him my brain just says does not compute

That's a pretty big dog alright.

Fenris · 31 Mar 2011 at 00:25

Actually I hate pigs so no, I didn't think they were cool.

This on the other hand is brilliant, where can I get one?

Hung like a, oh hang on.

Micro pigs > micro horses.

Greenlizard0 · 31 Mar 2011 at 00:27

Indeed.

Though to be fair can't small horses be used to guide blind people like dogs? Apparently they're better at the task, but much more expensive.

They'd be rubbish, horses are scared by EVERYTHING! Traffic, bushes, a stiff breeze... They're the most cowardly animal in existance.

Chipolatas are basically micro sausages, and I've never heard anyone complain about those.

Even in such a light hearted article the fail have to include some bull****, the caption below the image with the ball makes out it's a normal football, when obviously it's near enough 2 ft in diameter :confused:

That's exactly what I was gonna post.

Having a ball: Einstein is even smaller than a football but that doesn't stop him using his nose to push the ball around

How misleading does it wanna be?

What is the point?

Also have these things always existed and they're trendy now or has a miniature horse been created somehow?
