No, the noun 'hog' is a common noun, a general word for a domesticated swine or any of various animals related to the domesticated swine.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing; for example:

  • Piglet (Winnie the pooh) or Porky Pig (Looney Tunes)
  • Hog Mountain Road, Jefferson, GA
  • The Hog & Bull (restaurant), Gloucester City, NJ
  • Bush Hog Rotary Tillers

Example common noun in a sentence: "Bob loved raising farm animals, and he had a special love for his pet hogBrandon."

Example proper noun in a sentence: "The wrestler always snorted like a pig before he attacked so most people called him 'The Hog'."
