Crackling the pig visits St Kilda Crackling meets the locals in St Kilda. Sandra Boyle takes Crackling for a walk in St Kilda. THIS little piggy went to the market - then it went out for a coffee on Acland St, visited Luna Park and lapped up the sunshine at St Kilda Beach. The miniature pet pig has been turning heads in St Kilda as she is trained by D.O.G.S of Vic trainer Sandra Boyle. "People see her walking at heel and they think she's a dog, then they realise she's a pig," Ms Boyle said. They ask her name, which is Crackling, and they say 'They're not going to do that to her, are they?'. But Ms Boyle said St Kilda resident Carlos Sala bought her because he "wanted something a bit different" for a pet. "She was a very shy piglet who didn't want to wear a harness or walk out the front door," Ms Boyle said. But with regular training, Crackling learnt to socialise with people and animals. She's like a puppy dog. She even knows where home is and she'll start to pull on the lead and go straight to the front door," Ms Boyle said. Some St Kilda locals are amused by the sight of Crackling. Cracking has learned how to socialise with people. St Kilda locals enjoy a visit from Crackling. Sandra Boyle says Crackling is like a puppy dog.
