The image may be strange for most Vietnamese people, with the mindset that domestic livestock are usually kept in cages. Nguyễn Thị Hoà’s farm in Triệu Thượng Commune, Quảng Trị Province, offers pigs precious freedom that their fellow animals rarely enjoy. “We are the first and also the only farm in the whole area that rears pigs in their natural habitat,” Hoà said. “They find and eat whatever they like. They run as far as they can, to every corner of this 10 ha farm. Our pork, therefore, has distinct characteristics of colour, taste and balanced fat ratio that normal farms cannot offer,” she added.

Tiến, from the Central Highland province of Đắk Lắk, said Alaskans are notable for their beautiful fur coats. As well as a grooming Nana’s coat every day, Tiến also has to ensure a healthy diet for his dog. The food requires different levels of nutrition depending on each stage of Nana’s development.
