It’s a common misconception due to a few reasons… Your dog is trying to talk to human. That’s not what pigs do. Pigs are mostly raised for meat, not conversation. For example, there are 3 distinct breeds of pigs: Hereford, Yorkshire, Landrace (also known as sows), and crossbred with various others. They are very intelligent and social animals, often showing affection towards humans. But they aren’t dumb. So, simply because your dog sounds like she is saying something, doesn‘t mean she has a problem.

Why does my dog snort like he can’t breathe?
Reverse sneeze! The Pharynx gag reflex is actually a result of increased sensitivity of pharynctomus, a part of upper respiratory tract lying between the uvula and tongue. This action allows the mucous membranes covering the pharynges to swell when the animal breathes. Since the nasal passage is narrow, this swelling pressure causes the epiglottis to move away from the vocal cords, allowing the breath to escape via the mouth. When the throat moves back to its original position, relaxation occurs. During the relaxed position the air passes through both oro-pharynse and esophageal walls and enters the stomach and duodenum.
