This pig that thinks she's a dog is living her best life

Olive the pig has a unique family that does not discriminate.

Despite her brothers and sisters being of the canine variety, Olive has found her home by their side. It is like Babe come to life. 

The eight-month-old farm animal lives with Tilly the British bulldog, Alfie the Boston terrier and Lola the French bulldog in the semi-rural suburb of Glenorie in Sydney, Australia. Her parents, Alissa and Nick Childs, have collected the group of misfits and showered them with love, parties and dress-up costumes.

Olive, who joined the clan in October 2015, spends most of her days either grazing on the lawns or sleeping on the couch with the dogs. She also goes on bush walks with the family.

Their adorable lives are being documented on Alissa's Instagram account, Abby Love Photography. From the blooming friendship of Olive and Lola, the outrageous outfits and their cheeky run-ins with the goats and chickens, there is not a moment of boredom.

"She definitely behaves as though she is one of the dogs," Alissa told Mashable Australia in an email. "She spends every hour of the day with them, plays with them like a dog, she naps with them. If the dogs run at the gate to bark at something in the street, she races with them." 

Olive even barks like a dog when Lola tries to steal her dinner. Next up, Alissa said she is hoping to find a miniature donkey to add to the collection of beautiful animals. 

If you are struggling to put up with your siblings, here is a lesson in love and acceptance from some furry friends.
