Dogs and cats (understandably) get loads of attention for being adorable companions, but have you ever seen a pig?
Despite their bad rep for being messy and stinky, these squealing creatures are actually quite adorable, whether they’re still a piglet or weigh 600+ pounds. But don’t just take our word for it – check out some of our favorite piggy pictures down below!
