WATCH: Piglet Has No Intention of Sharing Her Favorite Human in Adorable Video
A tiny pig decided there is room for precisely one girl in her favorite human’s life—and she wasted no time claiming that position for herself.
The Braley Family page shared the video on Facebook, opening with the words, “Watching another girl try and steal my man…” From there, the evidence in the piglet’s favor piles up rather quickly.
She snuggles against her human in a carrier, trots happily alongside him, and eventually shows what a creative visionary she is by transforming the front pocket of his hoodie into the perfect piglet seat.
“I think it’s fair to say she won,” the video’s caption reads.
This Little Piggy Has Her Person

The piglet’s adorable devotion by itself is funny, but her desire to stay close to a familiar human is actually rooted in animal behavior one would expect from a little pig such as her.
The little pig’s apparent devotion is funny, but pigs can form deep, meaningful bonds with the people who care for them. Evelyn Mackay, a veterinarian with Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, says pigs are intelligent and affectionate animals that can develop strong bonds with people, often preferring their main caregiver over other family members or strangers.
That certainly seems consistent with a pig who willingly curls up inside somebody’s hoodie.
She May Need a Bigger Pocket Someday
Viewers were understandably charmed by the piglet’s preferred mode of transportation, made all the more adorable—and physically possible—by her tiny, whimsical, pocket-sized stature.
There is, however, one logistical issue looming on the horizon of this love story: contrary to their early petite appearance, pigs such as this one do not remain quite so itsy bitsy forever.
For now, though, she fits and has many pocket-encased rides to enjoy before she grows out of them.
