Today, everything seems to point to the fact that pigs are becoming companion animals more and more. And if you’re wondering why, you might not know that besides being super smart, these little friends’ most notable characteristic is when they feel at ease, they can very easily express their love for humans. And luckily, Reddit users took the time to capture and share those moments with the whole community.

At Bright Side, we think it’s important to acknowledge when people dedicate time and effort into making sure their pets lead a good life, which is why we made this adorable compilation, so you can see what happens when there’s a little pig in the house.
