" Bringing home a new animal\u00A0can be nerve-racking\u2014especially when you already have other pets\u00A0waiting to meet your new furry friend. So we can only imagine the butterflies Alissa and Nick Childs, of Abby Love Photography,\u00A0must have felt when they\u00A0welcomed a\u00A0pig, Oliveira\u00A0Buttercup,\u00A0to their rural\u00A0home in Glenorie, Australia. Their French bulldog\u00A0Lola was already known for\u00A0causing mischief with the family&amp;#039;s goats and chickens, and they suspected things would be no different with Olive.\u00A0 But much to their surprise, the animals went on to form an\u00A0unlikely friendship that will steal your heart. While Lola previously only liked to hang out with her canine siblings Alfie and Tilly, she took Olive under her wing. It wasn&amp;#039;t long before Olive became part of their canine pack, joining them for everything from playing dress up to staring in their mom&amp;#039;s photo shoots.           Olive &amp;amp;amp; Tilly on a beautiful Autumn afternoon &#127774;&#127809;all the babies love to run around crazy as the sun goes down #pig #britishbulldog #australia A photo posted by A Pig &amp;amp;amp; 3 Dogs &#128055;&#128054;&#128054;&#128054;&#128247; (@abbylovephotography1) on Apr 13, 2016 at 1:16am PDT     &amp;quot;[Olive]\u00A0definitely behaves as\u00A0though she\u00A0is one of the dogs,&amp;quot; Alissa told\u00A0Mashable Australia.\u00A0&amp;quot;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.&amp;quot;\u00A0 However, life hasn&amp;#039;t always been easy for Lola\u2014which is exactly why her friendship with Olive is so important.\u00A0\u00A0Recently, she&amp;#039;s been in and out of the hospital for sudden acute respiratory distress, according to a YouTube video. On two separate occasions, her throat closed over, so it&amp;#039;s a miracle that she&amp;#039;s still alive. While\u00A0her parents are busy trying to find the cause of her illness, she&amp;#039;s been off creating adorable memories with the special pig in her life.\u00A0           Another stunning shot by @lensmansam and @dailytelegraph - love diva Olive on the end who prefers to walk off the lead &#128514;&#128514; #divapig #pig #bostonterrier #frenchbulldog #britishbulldog A photo posted by A Pig &amp;amp;amp; 3 Dogs &#128055;&#128054;&#128054;&#128054;&#128247; (@abbylovephotography1) on Apr 8, 2016 at 6:37pm PDT               Sometimes to survive Monday, you have to hold your head up high, keep a smile on your dial, and pretend it&amp;#039;s Friday #goodadvice #pig #britishbulldog #frenchbulldog #bostonterrier A photo posted by A Pig &amp;amp;amp; 3 Dogs &#128055;&#128054;&#128054;&#128054;&#128247; (@abbylovephotography1) on Apr 17, 2016 at 1:43pm PDT               Olive our piggy is very excited to be featured as our friend @peonythepig &amp;#039;s outstanding pig of the week!
