The reasons why a dog grunts like a pig:

1. A dog that grunts like a pig may be coquettishly treating its owner.

2. It may be because it feels hungry or thirsty. It does this to attract the owner's attention and hopes that the owner can provide food and water.

3. Maybe it has never been in a cage, and it doesn’t want to stay in it. It may also be that it wants to interact with you and is expressing its dissatisfaction, which will manifest itself in this situation.

4. The dog may also make a humming sound when it wants to be accompanied by its owner. At this time, the owner can play with it with toys.

5. Dogs may grunt like pigs due to abdominal pain, fractures, trauma, fever and other physical discomforts.

6. If it makes a sound, it may mean that its respiratory tract is not good. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly to avoid delaying the condition.

7. Pneumothorax. When a dog receives a penetrating injury, a large amount of air enters the chest cavity and it is easy to produce a pneumothorax, causing the dog to breathe heavily.
