A dog and pig showed up at a Tuscumbia home on Thursday

Update:

The two friends are back with their owners.

Original:

An unlikely pair showed up at Darrell and Diane's home in Tuscumbia, Mo., on Thursday.

In an email to KRCG 13, Diane said, "We get lots of dogs and cats dropped off in our area, but never had a dog and a pig before."

The couple tied up the dog so he wouldn't wander onto a nearby highway.

And the pig? She won't leave her friend's side.

The animals are very friendly, but Darrell and Diane would like to find their owners. So if these cuties are yours, email us at news@krcg.com.
