What Kind of Pig Is It

What kind of a pig is it? I asked.
A starving pig? Are you trying to kill it?
It is not a pig at all, he told me.
It is a she, and she is a dog.
Now I felt sorrier for the creature than before.
A dog should never be fur-less; she seemed more ridiculous now.

(chuckling) You must have encountered a "hairless" dog. Yep, they do exist, and, yes, they are funny-looking. A dog should have fur!
