This episode focuses on the unlikely bond that has formed between Gilbert, a pot-bellied pig, and his best friend Dolly, a miniature poodle.
Gilbert was brought to Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary in Ohio in a critical condition. He was severely undernourished and had a number of health issues. Fortunately, with the help of the sanctuary staff, Gilbert made a miraculous recovery and began to thrive. However, something was still missing in his life - a companion.
Gilbert's loneliness was palpable until one day when a tiny poodle named Dolly was brought to the sanctuary. Dolly had been rescued from a hoarding situation and was in a pitiful state. She was timid and scared and seemed to have given up on life. But as soon as Dolly met Gilbert, everything changed.
Despite their obvious size difference, Gilbert and Dolly hit it off right away. The unlikely duo would play together endlessly and snuggle up for naps. They seemed to have an unbreakable bond. It was an unexpected turn of events, considering pigs and dogs are not known to be natural friends.
As the episode progresses, viewers see just how close Gilbert and Dolly have become. Not only do they spend all their time together, but they also look out for each other. Gilbert, who is much larger than Dolly, will always make sure Dolly is safe, especially around other animals. And Dolly, who is more alert and energetic than Gilbert, always makes sure Gilbert doesn't get left behind.
The episode follows Gilbert and Dolly's daily routine at the farm sanctuary. Viewers get a glimpse of how they interact with the other animals on the farm, and how their friendship has affected the other animals, as well. The staff at the sanctuary explain how Gilbert's personality has changed since Dolly came into his life, and how much happier he seems.
