40 Hilarious Photos of the Most Unusual Pets People Take on a Leash

There are so many dogs breeds today that it's hard to know whether you're looking at an adorable puppy or an exotic animal when you see an unusual-looking pet strolling down the street. We never thought these pets would be taken on a walk by their owners as if they were dogs, though. Here are 40 of the most unusual animals getting fresh air while taking a walk with a leash attached to them. Take a look to decide which ones are your favorites!

Pig Spotted

The pig on a leash seems to be enjoying its stroll while the owner looks on. The pig is looking around, sniffing, and exploring the world. It looks like it's having a great time. The pig's owner seems happy to take it out and enjoy the day with his pet.

Sometimes, they would stop, and she would walk next to her animal friend, just taking in the scenery together. On occasion, the animal's owner will sit on a bench or have an ice cream break together with her sweet pig. If your pet pig has enough room to explore, you'll have a happy partner during your walks!

Sweater Weather

This capybara seems to have a great fashion sense and flaunts it. The sweater on the leash is made of thick, bright green colored yarn. It's a fashion statement that keeps this rodent warm and cozy.

The owner might've been worried about other animals bothering the capybara, but this seems unlikely since it looks so happy and relaxed. The capybara doesn't seem bothered by any of the attention at all. He looks like he wants to enjoy his walk while wearing his pretty sweater.

The Ferret Harness

These are also known as mustelids and come from the weasel family. They need attention and enjoy exploring around the house - so be warned; these little guys will get into everything! This fret looks ready to explore its surroundings at the first opportunity.

The owner warns that the ferrets should not go outside without a leash or harness because they could run off if scared or captured by larger animals. If you want to let your ferret explore your backyard, attach it to an outdoor leash secured to an object in the yard, tree, or pole outside.

A Hedgehog on an Adventure

If you have one of these prickly critters in your home, it's essential to know that they are not so keen on being picked up and carried around. You can, however, take them out into the backyard to enjoy a safe outdoors. Getting your hedgehog ready to explore outside takes a little preparation.

You'll need an appropriately sized harness and leash - you can order both online or make your own. It's also essential to give your hedgehog some time to become accustomed to it, so try walking indoors with it first. Gradually allow your hedgehog more and more freedom outdoors, under supervision, until you can just let it roam around as it pleases while you enjoy some well-deserved relaxation time inside with a good book.
