I have two pigs and they are seriously so cute and sweet when they’re tiny. But they grow up pretty fast and become very hard to manage. Pigs are smart and very social, if you don’t spend time with them and give them activities, they will get very destructive and mean.

They also can live 15-20 years with a healthy diet and lifestyle so be prepared for the long run if you do take one in!

I read an article about a pig in Alaska that kept getting out of his pen and went into town exploring. He was known by most of the townfolk, so he got home safely. He even got taken home by the police at one point!

I would like to see the pig in the backseat of the police car!

I have him saved in my gallery but am too computer/phone illiterate to show you.

Can you do imgur? It goes easily with Reddit. You can just click share on the Imgur app, copy link and paste it as a comment here.

Thanks! Forgot already that it was a news story online so headline would have been enough but I got to see it finally! Looks cozy.

When they were little they lived inside, but around 60 pounds they had to move to the backyard. They have their own little house now
