Dusya on Nevsky: how Pig didn't become “mini”, but became a star
Is it easy to be a star? How to flash in reports and on websites on the Web, bring smiles on the faces of passers-by and interested barking of neighboring dogs, shine on Instagram and get fruit from "fans"? And, most importantly, how to win the impregnable hearts of the restrained and prim inhabitants of St. Petersburg? The minipig Dulcinea and her owner Julia know the answers to all questions.

Dulcine star with piglet @suprun100 became not accidental - she received her aristocratic name in honor of Picasso's painting Dulcinea. Being a fan of surrealism, Julia spent some time going through the names of famous paintings and looking for the right one. Then a pig with a “pictorial” name was predicted to have a career as an artist, looking how her colleague Pigasso paints pictures in South Africa.

But it did not work out: Dusya did not have the patience. Instead of an artist, Dusya became a fashion model and blogger, and also - free psychotherapist for Petersburgers. Notice how the faces of children and adults light up with smiles just by looking at the star pig!
With the permission of the hostess, Dusya can be stroked on the spotted back and photographed with her as a keepsake. They don’t take money for this, but you are guaranteed a good mood for the whole day and pleasant memories!

“I thought it would be smaller!”
Julia dreamed of a minipige for a long time, and in August last year, the dream came true. Dusyu taken from the farm, where she had no love, no affection, no name, but the prospect loomed of being as a roast on some table.
As we already wrote, minipigs often reach decent sizes. The beautiful Dulcinea weighs more than 60 kilograms, and, for example, two assistants help her take a bath at once - Julia and her husband. The first thing he said when he saw the new occupant of the apartment: "I thought it would be smaller!"
At first, Dusya looked completely unsocialized. It was too late to train her, so we had to negotiate. It turned out to be not easy: sometimes it was even necessary to use force against the stubborn and harmful Dusi. But now she knows for sure: do not expect indulgences from the hostess!

The tricks of our heroine are also not to be occupied: knowing what the right - fast and "no tricks" - crossing the road she is supposed to have a treat, Dusya chooses a route where there are as many pedestrian crossings as possible.
Once Dulcinea made a daring theft of cutlets from the refrigerator, and since then a special partition separates her from the kitchen. The hostess does not feel sorry for anything for her pet, but she fears, first of all, for her health. After all, there are not so many qualified specialists in the treatment of minipigs.
By the way, Dusya keeps fit, sitting on a special "star" diet. She loves almost all fruits, but she is not friends with some vegetables. For example, pepper and broccoli are not to her taste, and they have to be “masked”.

Sometimes you can see how Yulia and Dusya stand at the crossroads for a long time, “discussing” the route. If Duce does not want to go somewhere, it is almost impossible to argue with her. Once she threw a real "star" tantrum in the middle of Suvorovsky Prospekt ... and was left without dinner!
Stubbornness and whims are characteristic of many celebrities. Dulcinea did not escape them either. Where to go, winding the usual 3-5 kilometers around St. Petersburg, it is she who decides for a walk, and not the hostess.
Piggy was constantly drawn to Nevsky, and the hostess finally gave up. On the main St. Petersburg highway, Dusya made a splash! Not without paparazzi: all the time Dulcinea lives in St. Petersburg, her photos appear on the Web on personal pages and in thousands of publics. And once a real reportage was shot about Dusya, which was called "The Star of the Central District"!
Dusi has many friends. In the Nekrasovsky Garden, familiar dog lovers smile at her, Hardy the pit bull offers to run a race, and her favorite treats are put aside for her in the pet store. By the way, although the legs of the minipig look short, they are actually strong and very fast.
In a vegetable shop not far from home, Dusya is not just fed, but completely “put on allowance”: the owners - friends and fans of the star patch - supply the handsome man with fruits and vegetables. Recently, Dusya ate two kilograms of ripe strawberries in one sitting!
However, people are different. Yulia has heard not the most pleasant things addressed to herself and to Dusya, but she tries to ignore them: spiteful critics chat, and Dusya proudly walks along the Nevsky Prospect, making someone's next St. Petersburg bad day brighter and more fun!
