i have always wanted a pot bellied pig.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Vietnamese Pot-bellied is the exonym for the Lon I () or I pig, an endangered traditional Vietnamese breed of small domestic pig. The I is uniformly black and has short legs and a low-hanging belly, from which the name derives; in pregnant sows, the belly may drag on the ground. The I is reared for meat. It is slow-growing, but the meat has good flavour. The I was depicted in the traditional \u0110\u00f4ng H\u1ed3 paintings of B\u1eafc Ninh province as a symbol of happiness, satiety and wealth. The I is a traditional Vietnamese breed. It is thought to have originated in Nam \u0110\u1ecbnh province of Vietnam, in the Red River Delta. It was the dominant local pig breed in most provinces of the delta, and was widely distributed in Nam \u0110\u1ecbnh province and the neighbouring provinces of H\u00e0 Nam, Ninh B\u00ecnh and Th\u00e1i B\u00ecnh, as well as in the province of Thanh H\u00f3a immediately to the south, in the North Central Coast region. Until the 1970s the I was probably the most numerous pig breed in northern Vietnam, with numbers running into millions. From that time, the more productive M\u00f3ng C\u00e1i began to supplant it. The National Institute of Animal Husbandry of Vietnam started a conservation programme, with subsidies for farmers who reared purebred stock, but this had little benefit \u2013 there was some increase in numbers, but at the cost of increased inbreeding.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I love vietnamese pot-bellied pigs.

When they are pregnant, the belly drags on the ground. Haha."}]
