Pigs dream and see in color.
Pigs outperform 3-year-old human children on cognition tests and are smarter than any domestic animal, and animal experts consider them more trainable than cats or dogs.
Pigs are naturally slender. They only become fat when humans overfeed them.
Pigs are sociable. They like to cuddle and snuggle up, nose to nose, with one another as they sleep.
In the wild, pigs live in matriarchal societies, as elephants do.
Piglets love to chase each other, play-fight, and roll down hills.
Pigs can be picky eaters: When given the same food, even a favorite one, such as melon or banana, over and over, they will soon set them aside and eat their other food first. When pigs are offered a new food, they don’t gobble it right up, as a dog might, but sniff at it delicately as they decide whether or not to try a nibble.
Pigs are hygienic. When given the chance, they are more particular about their sanitary behavior than most dogs. They will not, unless locked inside a factory-farm cage, defecate anywhere near their living space.
Pigs roll in mud to cool down and ward off parasites and sunburn, just as elephants do.

I want a piggy!!
i don’t want a pig, i want to be a pig.
I’ve heard little potbellied pigs make great, clean, affectionate pets. They can be walked, played with, and pet like dogs, but are more fastidious like kitties.
I dig, I dig.
Obviously, E.B. White knew this long ago.
